Student Services & Programs

Programs offered at our special education high school are designed to support learning, build independence, and prepare students for real-world success.

Educational Services

We believe students deserve access to meaningful academics that support independence and lifelong learning. This program is designed for students working toward a Standard or Applied Studies Diploma. The curriculum blends core academics, functional life skills, and vocational training to support success both in and beyond the classroom.

Real-World Services

Independence goes beyond academics and job training. Students receive structured instruction in real-world skills, such as personal care and community engagement, so students can build confidence and autonomy in every aspect of their lives. This track progresses year by year, giving students practical tools for adulthood.

Vocational Services

This program is designed to give students the confidence, skills, and certifications they need to transition successfully into the workforce. These experiences help students transition into meaningful employment and greater independence after graduation.

Academic Programs Tailored to Virginia Standards

Vivos Academy is currently working on becoming licensed by the Virginia Department of Education and accredited by the Virginia Association of Independent Specialized Education Facilities (VAISEF) Our students work toward the Applied Studies Diploma or Certificate of Completion, following individualized pathways aligned with the Virginia Standards of Learning (SOLs) and Virginia’s Alternate Assessment Program (VAAP)

We align instruction with the Virginia Standards of Learning (SOLs) and Virginia’s Alternate Assessment Program (VAAP) while incorporating functional academics, vocational training, and independent living skills.

Applied Studies Diplomas & Certificates of Completion

Students at Vivos Academy do not work toward a standard diploma. Instead, they earn an Applied Studies Diploma or a Certificate of Completion, based on their Individualized Education Plan (IEP). These credentials celebrate each student’s strengths and help prepare them for work, community life, and greater independence.

Our goal is to provide a compassionate, high-quality education that empowers students to learn, grow, and thrive, both in the classroom and beyond.
