Preparing your child for their very best!
What a wonderful first week back to school! I enjoyed seeing everyone's smiling faces and hearing the sounds of learning and community taking place. Some highlights have been our new Mac Lab, our first Chapel service, and our classrooms! Check out the photos below to see what I mean.
Not Just a Campus, a Community
We strive to connect families outside of the school day in an effort to build community. Please checkout some of our upcoming community events below:

"seventwelve" Positive Behavior Intervention and Support (PBIS)
Virginia Academy is dedicated to creating a positive climate with a research-based approach to discipline called Positive Behavioral Interventions and Support (PBIS). PBIS is an approach for teaching students appropriate behavior and providing the supports necessary to sustain that behavior. The goal of PBIS is to reduce challenging student behavior through a proactive, positive, and consistent manner across all school settings and to improve academic achievement and social competence. At VAA, our key component of PBIS is to teach students to be kind, safe, and responsible by setting the same expectations and using the same terminology across all school settings. These three principles foster a positive learning environment and increase student achievement through positive reinforcement.
