About Arizona Online Instruction in DVUSD

Aspire, Deer Valley's Online Academy is DVUSD's approved Arizona Online Instruction (AOI) program. Since 2007, DVUSD has provided quality online learning for 9th-12th grade students.

Beginning in the 2020-2021 school year, online programming became available for all students. This expansion allowed DVUSD to create Aspire, Deer Valley's Online Academy for K-12 students choosing a full-time online option, with part-time options also available. 

Unique to DVUSD, all online courses are teacher built and taught by our district certified teachers. Courses include written lessons, video, audio, discussion forums, assessments, and frequent teacher feedback within the course and at our optional in-person online learning labs. 

Courses offered in DVUSD are delivered through the district adopted learning management system, Canvas. Courses are rostered through our student information system, PowerSchool, then pushed to the learning management system, which allows DVUSD to systematically deliver courses while maintaining course code alignment, accurate rostering, and ability to archive historical data.
