Virtual School Psychologist

About the Team

The Virtual Preparatory Academy of Indiana is a K-12 tuition-free online public school in the state of Indiana. At VPA Indiana, we empower students to be their best by enabling them to learn in ways that are right for them - using innovative technology at home, at their proper level, and at their own pace.

Please note - while this is an online school position and all instruction occurs virtually, travel and face to face attendance will be required several times per year to support in person state testing and student events.
