Upper School
Grades 6 - 12
At Virginia Academy, we believe that secondary education provides us a great opportunity not only to prepare students for acceptance to top colleges, but also to become Christ-like citizens of the world.
We desire to graduate well rounded young men and women who are critical thinkers, problem solvers, and who have an entrepreneurial spirit. We hope to produce students who know how to be servant-leaders, having the desire to serve God and others. As early as sixth grade, students are challenged to excel at the highest level and seek the most rigorous academic courses possible. In high school grades, honors courses are available, as well as college dual enrollment.
