Middle School ( 7-9)

Al Batool Virtual International School (BVIS) and Al Forgan Private School – Virtual American Program (FVAS) provides an interactive, digital courses  for students in grades 7th through 9th.  Students enrolled in this program will take a total of 7 credits throughout the school year.

In our Middle School program, we give students more responsibility as well as more work in their digital courses than was previously given in our elementary school courses. This allows the student to acquire the necessary learning habits and time management skills that will be useful for a successful transition into high school and further education.

This program is designed to help students understand their learning strengths and weaknesses and work on them accordingly with the nurturing help of their assigned teachers. Overall, middle school is a time of exploration where many students begin to discover who they are and their interests. Our schools, comprehensive, and flexible Middle School Program provides the time and resources for students to begin their journey of self-exploration.

Support for Students 

When you choose our schools for middle school, we surround you and your student with support. Even though your student works independently, they are not alone. 

First impressions are important, especially to middle schoolers. That’s why we’ll walk your student through how to get started in their digital courses during our new student orientation. If your student has questions about how to navigate their course they can reach out to our friendly and responsive Student Services team via phone, email, and chat.

Support for Parents

At the middle school level, it’s important that you are able to stay involved in your student’s education.  

We’ll make sure you can easily monitor your student. You’ll get a weekly progress report via email that includes an overview of how your student is doing in each of their courses.  This report also includes detailed information about your student’s grades and how much time they have spent on course activities.

If you have concerns about your student’s progress, you can contact your student’s teacher and academic counselor for support. 

If you’d like to keep other adult advocates informed of your student’s progress, we can make sure they get the weekly progress report too. 

Engaging Curriculum

We won’t overload your student with long pages of text to read. Instead, to reach all kinds of learners, we make sure to address different learning styles. Your student is asked to watch, listen, read, interact, practice, and create.  

Supports are built right into the course to help your student when they struggle. Examples of these supports include videos that bring concepts to life, keyword definitions, and low-stakes assessments that allow him to review what he’s learned before moving on to a scored activity.
