WVA School Calendar and
Bell Schedules
Learning Beyond the Classroom
Our school year is divided into four terms with at least a two-week break in between each term. Special programming over each break provides our student scholars with the opportunity to enhance their learning and development. All students who are not on grade-level core topics receive remediation free of charge in the mornings during break programming.
Bell Schedule
During each term our school days are divided into Instruction Days and Experience Days. Monday through Thursday are Instruction Days. Primary grades have leveled learning in reading, math, and language in the mornings. Their afternoons will be filled with grade level learning, history, science, and specials. Secondary students will be participating in their block courses. During lunch they will have the opportunity to participate in two chosen clubs. Clubs can be changed only at the semester. We encourage parents to schedule appointments for their children avoiding the foundational core subjects (math, language/reading and science).
​
Fridays are Experiential Days. Our primary students participate hands-on activities in Science and History through the Core Knowledge culminating activities. Grades 3rd and older will be taking piano lessons. Our secondary students will be attending all 8 of their classes to provide extra hands-on practice and discussions. All scholars will have assemblies where twice a month they will participate in a "Show what you know" event, where all scholars and classes show off their learning to their peers.
