CVA is an academy that uses the k12 curriculum. The curriculum is from bill benett's brainchild/company....it isn't only for gifted. Not sure who it is open to in California. In fl it is a county by county thing if it is open to you.

But if you like the program you can buy the classes as an independent homeschooler and not get them free as a public school student. That is true across the US.
