Academic Programs

  • Serving children 18-months old to age 4, our Early Learning Center is the only fully accredited center of its kind in the region. Our college-prep mission begins with our youngest learners, providing opportunities to grow and explore, as they begin early literacy and go to music, art, PE and Spanish beginning in the 3-year old room.

  • The Lower School houses Kindergarten through Grade 6. These years are so important as we guide them from learning to read, to reading to learn. Using curriculum, assessments, and instructional tools with a foundation in celebrating individual growth, our students establish a firm foundation and a love of school.

  • Our Upper School is the perfect blend of small class sizes and endless opportunities. Intentionally small, our students get access to and feedback from their teachers. However, our US students enjoy a great deal of autonomy as they design their educational journey, choosing from a full slate of Honors and AP courses, and opportunity to dual-enroll in courses at Vance-Granville Community College. By the time our students complete their journey at KVA, they are fully prepared for college and beyond.


 

Hear What our Students, Alumni, and Parents Have to Say…

Kerr-Vance Academy equipped me with the tools and skills I needed to be a successful student and person while there, throughout college, and in my young adult life. The family atmosphere and supportive environment is so unique to KVA, and I will always be grateful for so many years spent there!

As a child, Kerr Vance Academy was a place where I felt safe, encouraged, educated and even loved all the while among wonderful friends. As I grew into a more mature student I appreciated the challenges put before my fellow students & me by our teachers. As a college student and in my professional life I regularly rely on the foundation my parents knew I would gain at KVA.

Never more have I appreciated the excellence in education as I do now that I am the parent of two Spartans. The value my husband and I find in their education & overall development could never be surpassed. As all parents, we want the best for our children and there is nothing better we could spend our money on than the gift of growing, learning and maturing at KVA.

There was never a doubt in our mind where we were going to send our daughter when it came time for her to go to school. Kerr-Vance Academy has given our daughter a top-notch education in a small classroom learning environment. The peace of mind sending your child to a school where you have a trusting relationship with all of the instructors is priceless.
