Special Services:
Students who need classroom accommodation(s) beyond our general classroom instruction. This includes but is not limited to those with a 504 plan, FES-UA scholarship, or those identified with a medical diagnosis needing additional support by the teachers, nurse, and support staff. If your student has an "IEP or a 504 plan", we will ask you to provide a copy of their current plan as well as the past 2 years of report cards and any testing results. This will enable the leadership team to determine the level of support required for your child’s success. Please contact us before you apply, so the administration can review and determine whether VCA can accommodate your child’s needs. We enroll a limited number of students per grade level with minor disabilities to maintain a balance of academic and behavioral needs within the classroom.
FES-UA is for students with disabilities or special needs. Students with academic disabilities (IEP/504) seats are currently CLOSED to any new applicants for the 2024-25 school year. We are currently at the capacity for students with unique abilities due to limited resources.
