Supporting Neurodivergent Learners
Flexible Education Designed for Students Who Learn Differently
Every student deserves a learning environment that fits them — not the other way around. At Cyber Village Academy, we’re all about supporting neurodivergent learners. Our flexible online and hybrid learning models are designed to meet each student’s unique needs in a caring and supportive way.
Students can choose between our 100% Online Program or our Hybrid Program (Monday–Wednesday at school, Thursday & Friday at home or in school), depending on which environment supports their needs best.
Why Neurodivergent Students Thrive at CVA
Traditional classrooms can be fast-paced, noisy, or overwhelming. CVA’s learning environments offer calm, structure, and flexibility — key ingredients for neurodivergent student success.
We support students through:
- Predictable routines that reduce anxiety
- Flexible pacing to prevent overwhelm
- Smaller class sizes to reduce sensory input
- One-on-one teacher support for guidance
- Clear instruction methods that support students’ current needs
These elements help students feel capable, supported, and safe.
Online Learning: A Calm Environment for Focus
CVA’s Online Program is ideal for students who benefit from:
- Quiet, predictable learning environments
- Sensory control
- Independent pacing
- Reduced social pressure
- Ability to take breaks or revisit lessons
Online learning allows students to build confidence, develop regulation strategies, and engage deeply with content.
Hybrid Learning: Support + Social Growth
CVA’s Hybrid Program provides structure and community while protecting students from burnout. With three days of classroom learning on campus (M–W) and two online curriculum days (Th–Fri), spent at home or in Study Center on campus, students get the best of both worlds.
Hybrid works well for students who:
- Want social interaction, but not daily
- Benefit from teacher and peer modeling
- Want to transition from online learning
- Thrive in a small-group community
Hybrid allows students to practice social and executive functioning skills along with peers and with teacher support.
