Public & Private Schools in our Area

Central Virginia has so much to offer a growing family: Recreational opportunities, cultural enrichment, and a community dedicated to education. There's a reason Reader's Digest named Charlottesville “one of the top 10 places in the country to raise children.” Virginia schools have produced three presidents so far. Your child could be next!

Colleges & Universities There is a long tradition of families moving to Virginia so their toddlers can grow up to attend state schools–and take advantage of lower in–state tuition, the state's college savings program, and living close to so many fine institutions of higher learning.

Of course, Charlottesville is perhaps best known as the home of the University of Virginia, which ranks consistently among the finest public universities in the nation (designed by Jefferson, it's also an historic landmark).

No wonder E-Podunk.com selected Charlottesville as the “Number 1 Best Small College Town.”

Within about an hour's drive are more than half a dozen colleges and universities, many with nationally ranked undergraduate and graduate programs–not to mention sports teams worth rooting for and cultural programs on a par with those in major metropolitan areas. Our regional institutions include:

The University of Virginia
Piedmont Virginia Community College
James Madison University
Mary Baldwin College
Washington & Lee University
Virginia Commonwealth University

Blue Ridge Community College
VCU Medical College of Virginia
