Virginia K-12 Computer Science Policies
Virginia was the first state to require all schools to offer computer science after lawmakers made a revision to the required academic standards in 2016.
By November 2017, the Virginia Department of Education adopted K-12 computer science standards to their Standards of Learning (SOLs) based on CSTA, K-12 CS Framework, and College Board Advanced Placement. These standards are intended to provide students with a detailed understanding of the study of computers, algorithmic processes, and cybersecurity.

CodeHS' Impact on Virginia
I'm almost through my first full year using CodeHS extensively across different courses and content. I really like the material used to supplement what I would like my students to learn. It also allows me the flexibility to focus my energy in other places and cater the learning to individual students more.
My class and I enjoyed this module very much. It’s a fantastic resource and just what I was looking for—really the best online programming class I have seen. Thank you.
