Gwynne Valley Rural Academy Charter
Gwynne Valley Rural Academy’s Charter is to implement the concept of Early Vocational Exposure in a Public Charter School that serves students in Kindergarten through High School.
One definition of vocation is “a strong feeling of suitability for a particular career or occupation,” while another definition would be “a skill or trade with specialized training that is pursued as a career.”
Herein, a vocation is more broadly defined as a person’s profession, trade, employment, or main occupation. Early Vocational Exposure is a Grades K–12 curriculum expansion that prioritizes the development of practical skills and vocational understanding throughout students’ primary and secondary education.
GVRA is governed by the Gwynne Valley Rural Education Association (GVREA) and its Charter Board of Directors whose membership is comprised of:
• parents of currently enrolled students
• community members, both private and corporate
• staff members (permanent employees of the school)
