VIRGINIA
A&M
ACADEMY



Academic, Athletic, Mentorship



Mission Statement:



Sometimes young people need additional time and support to mature and reach their full potential. This is the main purpose of the VAM program. To assist them through the challenges they will face as they move from middle school to high school, and College into adulthood. For pre-teens and early teenagers, challenges can become overwhelming and range from academic difficulties caused by poor study habits or learning disabilities to family circumstances to personal struggles to limited playing time, poor training, or lack of development.


It's during these critical moments that guidance, encouragement, and support are most needed! Virginia A&M Academy was founded to assist our student-athletes with identifying the pathway to success and to equip them and their family with the tools, resources, mentorship, and coaching necessary to achieve their goal!


Our goal is to guide young people towards a brighter future, while helping them navigate the journey that leads them towards personal, academic, and athletic achievement.


"Building Character, Creating Opportunities, Future Community Leaders, and Champions for Life"
