Starting a new school journey is a big step. Below are answers to some of the most common questions we hear. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, please feel free to reach out. We’re happy to talk.

  • We serve students in grades 5 –12.

  • Our microschool is based in Jacksonville, Florida. Final location details will be shared soon.

  • We plan to open in July 2025.

  • VLA is built on a healing-first philosophy. We focus on emotional wellness, trauma-informed care, personalized learning, and leadership development—especially for students who haven’t thrived in traditional school environments.

  • A microschool is a small, student-centered learning community designed to offer flexibility, personalized instruction, and strong relationships. Our model allows us to truly get to know each student and meet their unique needs. VLA maintains a low student-to-staff ratio to ensure that every learner receives the personalized support and attention they deserve.

  • Each day includes morning wellness routines, multiple academic blocks, mindfulness and reflection time, creative expression, and service learning. Fridays are reserved for enrichment, including guest speakers, field experiences, and emerging tech like AI and virtual reality.

  • Families may choose between our 5-day Thrive Track or 3-day Grow Track. Both options include healing-centered routines and academic support. The Thrive Track includes full participation in enrichment days and leadership development.

  • Thanks to Florida’s universal school choice program, many families can use state scholarships to cover most or all tuition. We will help guide families through the process.

  • Start by scheduling a call with one of our founders. If we agree that VLA is a great fit, you’ll receive a personalized application link.
