Fredericksburg Academy is a prekindergarten-twelfth grade private school in Fredericksburg, VA.
Fredericksburg Academy was founded in 1992 by a group of parents in search of a school that could offer the same kind of non-sectarian education to their children, that they grew up with. Nearly 25 years later, the Academy is the leading independent school in the region, with 100% college acceptance, state championship athletics, strong performing arts, and a challenging, innovative, student-centered curriculum.

Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
Fredericksburg Academy is celebrating twenty years; our first classes began in the fall of 1992.
What is your primary product or service?
Independent, college preparatory education for Prekindergarten-3 through Grade 12.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
Many teachers at Fredericksburg Academy are certified—that is, they hold teaching certificates issued by the state of Virginia or another state’s department of education. While this is necessary in order to teach in public school systems, it is not a designation that the Academy requires. Instead, at Fredericksburg Academy, as at most strong independent schools, we expect
our faculty to be qualified to teach their particular discipline. We identify qualified teachers as those having a college degree with a concentration of courses in the particular area in which they are hired to teach, having successful experience in teaching, and having the commitment and personal qualities to work collaboratively with students and with other teachers. These are the standards by which the Academy makes decisions to hire and retain faculty.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
Fredericksburg Academy is the only independent school within a 45-mile radius that is accredited by the Virginia Association of Independent Schools (VAIS).
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
We have one location at 10800 Academy Drive in Fredericksburg (Spotsylvania County); all of our students, Prekindergarten through 12th Grade, are on one campus. Yes, we have plans to expand. We recently added a class for three-year-olds that will start in the 2012-13 school year.
