Gaston Virtual Academy
The Gaston Virtual Academy met its academic growth expectations for the 2024-2025 school year, and we also increased our graduation rate. These are two accomplishments that make us very proud!
Providing care for students at school
Thanks to our partnership with Kintegra Health, we offer a telehealth clinic here at our school. Students, who are experiencing a minor illness or condition, can be seen by a medical provider virtually. This allows us to provide care for students without them having to leave school to go to the doctor.
