We are proud to offer personalized learning pathways that empower students to take ownership of their education. Through innovative instruction, supportive staff, and a strong sense of community, we ensure that each learner is actively involved in their growth and development.

Whether students are exploring new ideas, deepening their understanding, or discovering their passions, CVA is committed to helping them thrive. Together, we are shaping future leaders, thinkers, and changemakers.

Thank you for being part of our journey. Let’s make this year one of meaningful learning and lasting impact.

26-27 Student Registration Now Open

Registration is now open for both new and returning students to the Columbia County School District for the 2026-2027 school year. This includes rising Kindergarteners. All students are required to complete the annual online registration before the first day of school on Tuesday, August 4, 2026.

We're Moving to Parent Square!

Columbia County Schools will soon be transitioning away from Remind. Remind has been purchased by ParentSquare, and ParentSquare offers several new and exciting communication features that we are eager to begin using.

If you did not receive a registration link by email, no worries. You can sign up directly in ParentSquare using the email address listed in Infinite Campus, and your account will automatically connect to your student.

Remind101 messaging will begin phasing out in mid‑April, and we want to ensure everyone stays informed throughout this transition. To help you get familiar with ParentSquare, we are sharing a Remind vs. ParentSquare Terminology Guide that highlights how common features align between the two platforms.

Thank you for your attention and cooperation as we make this important transition
