History

Over 30 years ago, Accotink Academy was established as the first school for learning disabled students in the Washington Metropolitan area.  As the need of the surrounding school districts changed, the student population at the Academy also changed.

Accotink Academy today, is a private therapeutic day school for students with a variety of learning and emotional disabilities.  We operate under the Proprietary School Division of the Virginia Department of Education.

Mission

It is our goal to help each of our students reach both their educational and emotional potential; to recognize that each child has her/his own style of learning; and to strive to discover how we may use the skills and talents possessed by each student.  we are dedicated to the task of helping our students become more self-directed and better able to face the outside world with a confidence that allows them to become productive members of society.
