A Portrait of a Graduate is a framework developed by a school or district to define the skills, knowledge, and attributes/competencies students should possess upon graduation to be successful in the 21st century. It moves beyond traditional academic measures and emphasizes deeper learning, future-readiness, and community-defined success.

Our school offers a free public education to any middle school or high school student under the age of 19 who resides in San Diego, Orange, Imperial, or Riverside County. Any student who meets our basic criteria and desires a virtual school experience can enroll with us. However, the majority of our student body falls into one of six categories: military families, advanced learners, struggling students, student athletes or performers, health-related distance learners, and students with jobs. The benefits of online schooling are countless and far-reaching, and they will continue to serve your student well after he or she has graduated from SDVS.
