Virginia Academy

[12/16/19]   Due to inclement weather, Virginia Academy is closed today, including Inclement weather camp.

Preschool Chapel!

Preschool Chapel: Mrs. Reed and her class sharing with us the reason for the season...Jesus!

Yesterday in chapel, our upper school students heard from our Student Services Director, Mrs. Shanay Howard. We learned that God calls us into our destiny, not our yesterday. We can walk with confidence when we walk in the identity that God gave us. We believe God designed us to be spectacular! (Ps 139:14-16)

[12/13/19]   Due to inclement weather, Virginia Academy will operate on a two-hour delay. Virginia Academy will open at 9:00 am for full day preschool students and for students enrolled in the Before Care Program only. All other students may arrive no earlier than 10:00am. School will begin at 10:30 am. Please check back for any updates prior to leaving home.

Our 3rd-5th grade students will be learning about simple machines and creating their own pulleys during their monthly STEM enrichment class.

Each Lower School class adopted a family in need for Christmas. Our families generously blessed these families with gifts! Thank you for your generosity and helping us to spread the love of God this Christmas season! 🎄 🎁

We had some special guests this morning in Lower School chapel. Spider-Man was here to help teach our students the importance of being grateful and Bell visited us to invite our students to our Upper School production of Beauty and the Beast - Friday at 7PM and Saturday at 2PM. 🥀

Spider-Man also invited our students to Community Church for our last week of At The Movies. Come join us Sunday at 9:30AM or 11AM for free popcorn, soda, and a truth-filled message through film! 🎥

Our Girls Varsity Basketball getting an early jump on the season in Fall League! Can’t wait for the season to start. Double tap to show some love!

Today our Upper School students were challenged in chapel by Dave Guinn:
🙌🏼
Many of us have learned to identify ourselves by what we DO, not who we ARE. Our students were given the opportunity to drop negative labels they’ve picked up in order to put on the thoughts God has for them that only the Creator can give them:
🙌🏼
New. Alive. Free. Outrageously loved. Whole. Complete. Loved. Chosen. Never alone. Intricately made. Masterpiece. Forgiven. Adopted. Sweet aroma. Protected. Held. Full of purpose. Accepted. Object of God’s affection.

✋🏼 days, VAA fam. Don’t miss out on the party of the year! Invite a friend!

You don’t want to miss our first Bingo Night of the year! 🤩

The annual family #bingonight is back at Virginia Academy on September 27. So, mark your calendar 🗓 and prepare to join us for an evening of games, food, fun, and community engagement. Watch your email for volunteer opportunities and registration details.

Today, we launched our first Discovery STEM challenge for our 3rd- 5th grade students for the 2019/20 school year!

Challenge 1 was to design a water filter. 💦 Students learned that although it is 2019, millions of people use river water for cooking, drinking, and bathing. They watched a video of how one man solved this problem by teaching villagers how to filter water and dig wells. He also brought them knowledge of the living water offered by God’s love! ✝️

We are excited to continue teaching our 3rd - 5th grade students about the engineering design process and the world around them through these monthly STEM challenges.

Preschool Chapel!

Preschool had a great time worshipping God together and Mrs. Williams enjoyed talking about our seventwelve initiative: Be kind, Be safe, Be responsible and have fun!

Come out and support our boys!!!

Our Virginia Academy #upperschool student athletes have already demonstrated their commitment to the #vaaathletic programs by showing up for practice. We are only in the second week of school but if time permits, come out to support our young men as they compete this week in their first #soccer game at home. #letsgopatriots #vaasoccer⚽️

Yesterday our Chancellor and Lead Pastor, Dr. Charles Whitlow addressed our upper school students in #vaachapel.

His message centered on two essentials he desires of every student: (1) They remember they are a gift from the Lord and (2) their lives hit the mark God intends for them.

Thank you, Pastor!

Great Summer Bash! Thanks for coming out!

Make sure to follow our Patriot Parents!

Thank you to the Virginia Academy administration for an informative evening; the #vaa student ambassadors for their engagement with the parents and their peers; and, to you, our #patriotparents for sharing the evening with us. We are looking forward to a fantastic year.
