Clubs & Activities
Clubs and activities give your child fun, meaningful ways to explore interests, build skills, and connect with classmates. Each one is designed to spark curiosity and help students feel part of our vibrant school community. Check out the wide variety of clubs and workshops available at Virginia Virtual Academy—and see how your child can get involved.
Types of Clubs
Student-Initiated Clubs
These clubs begin with students—their ideas, passions, and creativity. Kids take the lead in shaping the club experience, while a staff member is there to provide supervision and ensure a safe, positive environment.
Academic Enrichment Clubs
These staff-led clubs complement what students are learning in class, offering engaging, hands-on activities that spark curiosity and growth. They let students dig deeper into subjects they enjoy—whether it’s math, art, science, or other areas of interest.
Workshops and Activities
Students can take part in fun, topic-focused sessions that inspire creativity, curiosity, and new discoveries—led by teachers and guest facilitators.
Interested in starting a student-initiated club?
Federal law (the Equal Access Act) ensures that all student-led, non-curricular clubs have an equal opportunity to meet, whether in person or online, giving students the freedom to create and lead clubs based on their interests while receiving support and oversight from staff.
If your child has an idea for a new club, we’d love to help them bring it to life! Contact your school team to get started.
