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!

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.
