Upper School

6th-12th Grade

All our courses are taught by qualified teachers that use the research based methods to bring the content to life for our students. We currently have up to 10th grade. Each year we will add another grade level until we reach a graduating class, thus the 11th-12th grade listings below are projected.

On campus days are focused on hands on teacher directed group learning. For home days, students will be given all the materials needed to reflect on lessons and prepare for the next school day. The home days and on campus days work in tandem with one another to provide the students with a well rounded education.

Students have two electives each day and the option of a second language.

    Senior year is the time for students to take a deep dive into exploring their passions for what comes after high school. In Virginia, student’s need 3 History, 3 Science, and 3 Math credits to graduate. We will work with students individually to help develop independent studies that will give them a jump start into their chosen paths after highschool. This may look like an Engineering internship, college courses at CVCC, or an appreticeship with a welder. We will also be continuing to offer classes in these subjects.
