A Few Words from our KVA Family


As the parent of a first grader, it has meant so much for my son to be able to attend school this year. The isolation and lack of socialization during virtual learning was exceedingly difficult for him last year. At his age, learning solely on a computer was nearly impossible. The KVA staff has dealt well with the difficulties of functioning through Covid. Our child is greeted and sent off daily by a smiling staff member that takes precaution in keeping him safe. He is so excited to go to school, even if he must wear a mask. This shows us that he is in a happy, nurturing environment.

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!

Kerr Vance Academy has provided me with a safe, teacher caring, student focused education. The teachers and faculty go above and beyond to make a student comfortable and they instill a love of learning. The Athletic Department focuses on building foundations and fundamentals that will enhance a student’s athletic ability. The academic structure and the athletic programs have driven me to be the student athlete I am today. Kerr Vance Academy has provided me with an education that has prepared me as I further my academic career.

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.

Kerr-Vance Academy is a phenomenal school. This is our family’s 16th year at the school and we couldn’t be happier with the education and experience. The teachers are fabulous and so devoted to the students, offering college preparation matching that of any private school in the state. KVA’s whole school culture is incredibly family-like and supportive, from the daycare programs and pre-K classes up through the high school. Plus, the school’s small size allows all students an opportunity to participate in sports, with the “no-cut” team policies. KVA is truly an amazing asset for this community and the surrounding counties.

My experience has been excellent! The teachers are amazing and know the material very well. Small class sizes allow for the one on one attention in order to benefit a student.

This is my son’s first year at Kerr Vance Academy, and we have been surprised at what he has learned. He is reading at an almost third grade level, taking reading comprehension tests on the computer daily, excelling in math through working with double digits and even learning basic geometry skills. We feel that he is getting a great education by knowledgeable, caring teachers. He loves school and that says a lot.

We cannot thank Kerr-Vance Academy enough for our 13 years of a second to none experience! Our son had exceptional opportunities, both in learning and character building, in a safe and special environment. The smaller class sizes resulted not only in advanced learning, but also in a family type environment cultivating life long friendships. He graduated KVA ready for the world, and is attending the University of North Carolina on a full scholarship.
