New Student Application Instructions

The process for applying to Summer School is the same as it is for admission to the regular academic year.

If you have already submitted an application for Fall enrollment, please contact the Admissions Office to request that your application be considered for Summer School.

You do not have to complete a separate application for Summer School enrollment if one is already on file for the regular academic year.

As part of the application process, in addition to a campus visit and interview, you will be asked to submit the following:

Application:

• Character Questionnaire
• English Teacher Recommendation
• Math Teacher Recommendation
• Complete Transcript of Student’s Academic Record

Once all application materials are received by the Academy, the Admissions Office will notify the applicant of the acceptance decision.

All enrolling students must have a physical examination prior to reporting and a record of all immunizations required by the Virginia State Health Department.

All courses are offered subject to enrollment numbers. Courses for which there is a low demand may not be offered in a specific year. Some courses may fill early and not be available to later enrollees.

Elective Courses (available as enrichment courses)

Leadership (.5 credit Enhancement Course)

This course in leadership will focus on leadership both as a science (or concept) and as a service to others that models Christ. In focusing on leadership as a science, students will learn how to effectively lead in their respective environments (both present and future), while simultaneously bringing out the best in those around them. In the servant-leadership portion of the course, students will learn that leadership is not simply a science: it is an act done in service to others in a Christ-like manner.

Study Skills (.5 Credit Enhancement Course)

Students will practice different studying and testing techniques to better prepare for future classes. Techniques will focus on skills such as time and task management, organization, effective professional communication, test taking skills, etc.

Music Instrument (.5 Credit Enhancement Course)

This course offers instruction on building tone, breathing techniques, sight reading, and exploration of reading up to grade 4 music. Pieces of music each student plays are individually selected based on playing capabilities at the start of the class.

Music Theory (.5 Credit Enhancement Course)

Music theory is the written language of music. Music theory is an integral part of musicianship. Being able to read music, determine dynamics, and break down rhythms is a requirement to play higher level music both as soloist and in an ensemble. This course introduces students to music theory starting at the beginning level and moving to an intermediate level by the end of the course. By the end of the course, students will be able to evaluate pieces of music to identify aspects like time signatures, key signatures, and varying types of dynamics used in classical and contemporary pieces of music.

Please contact our Director of Admissions ( or 434.842.4205) if you have a special request for a course that isn’t listed above.
