West Virginia Academy's Individualized Approach
West Virginia Academy (WVA) was founded on the premise that there is not a one size fits all approach when it comes to education.
So what makes our school different from the rest?
WVA Primary School
Pre-K through 6th grade
At WVA, we ensure students are reaching mastery at their level, whether that is behind their grade-level or ahead. If a student is clearly capable and ready, we accelerate them to challenge them academically, provide additional growth opportunities, and achieve their goals faster.

How do we do this?
In our primary school, all scholars attend direct instruction for math and reading, with 3-6 getting instruction in writing as well.
The students attend a class that provides the material they need presented at their ideal pace to progress in the most efficient way.
Grade-level content is provided in the afternoons, as well as science, history, and the arts.
Transition: 6th Grade
At WVA, we provide our 6th grader with a unique learning experience. This is a critical time, where scholars must master all the fundamental basics in order to truly master the following programs. Students still get the benefit of leveled learning in the mornings; however, they also get the expertise and challenge of advanced courses in science, history, higher level reading and math. They participate in secondary sports and have a voice in student government. It is a perfect blend of primary basics and secondary standards.
