High School
Introduction
High school students at RVA participate in a rich program of arts and sciences based on an American curricular foundation. We also support students who require British IGCSE qualifications.
Both a college-prep and a standard diploma are offered at RVA, along with a number of Advanced Placement courses, which usually include English, Calculus AB and BC, Statistics, French, Biology, and Chemistry.
Students benefit from physical education and Bible instruction each term, as well as a variety of visual and performing arts options.
“While technically I may be teaching my students math, more often than not, these students are teaching me – everyday conversations reveal wisdom and maturity beyond their years.” –Sheri Daubenmier, RVA teacher
