Student Life

The day in the life of a Jeffco Virtual Academy Otter is much different than that of a student who attends a brick-and-mortar school. Classes are asynchronous with work due weekly.

Creating Your Own Schedule

Creating a schedule AND sticking to it are two of the most important skills online students need to develop. Here are some tips to remember:

  • Each class takes five to eight hours per week to complete.
  • Create a schedule based on schoolwork.
  • Wake, eat and dress at the same times every day.
  • Prioritize your schedule based on when you're most focused.
  • Set boundaries and communicate them to those you work around. Explain how you are juggling school and home.
  • Tell them when you need to be in “do-not-disturb” mode. 
  • Take a 10-minute break for every hour of work. Don’t overextend yourself due to the remote work dynamic. 
  • Reward your efforts!
