The advantages of the K-8 model provide an incomparable foundation for learners and the entirety of our programming is built around a single question -- "What is best for the child?" Children flourish at James River because they are supported as students and as persons. They are given the tools for lifelong learning and the tools of good character to function well in society, leaving it better than they found it.

Annual Yard Sale Postponed

This year has been different in so many ways because of COVID-19, and this is just one more example. We are unable to have our annual yard sale this month as we do traditionally. We are hoping to be able to host some alternate version of the yard sale in the spring of 2021.

Due to the postponement, we are unable to accept any more donations of items for the yard sale. We are simply out of storage space. We so appreciate the community's generosity. We will notify the community of our plans through our website and our Facebook and Instagram feeds. Please follow and like James River Day School to stay up-to-date on plans.
