Virginia Episcopal School: Academics

At VES, we expect all of our students will attend college. So we design our curriculum to make our students as competitive for college as possible. We know that in order to inspire students to work hard, they must have curriculum choices that intrigue them. Here, students have a superb number of course options. Our curriculum provides more than 65 courses, including honors tracks and 16 advanced placement courses.

You definitely won't be bored in our classrooms. Our approach is one-on-one -- one teacher relating to one student. It's the way students learn the most, and the way we teach the best. We get to know students personally, challenge them individually, and encourage them to go beyond the talents they already possess. It requires hard work. It also inspires excellence.

Our course offerings include the basics as well as numerous electives. Below are the subjects we teach. You can also check out a sample academic schedule to find out what your schedule might look like, read our curriculum guide (PDF: 96K), which details the courses you will take at VES, and scan our academic calendar to learn about important dates during the school year.
