Virtual Academy to Serve Eligible Students in Fall 2021
The vast majority of CPS students will return to school five days a week this fall. However, we anticipate that a small percentage of children will need to continue learning remotely due to verified medical needs. To ensure these students receive the high-quality education they deserve, CPS is launching a Virtual Academy to provide a central model of instruction.
To be eligible for the Virtual Academy, students must meet specific medical criteria that is documented by a healthcare provider.
The window to enroll in the CPS Virtual Academyis June 18 – July 23. Families whose children meet the medical criteria for the Virtual Academy can provide the COVID-19 Health Eligibility Form to a licensed medical provider, who must submit the form via virtualenrollment@cps.edu, or fax it to (773) 553-6563, Attn: Virtual Enrollment. All applications will be approved through the Office of Student Health & Wellness.
