About Exceptional Village Academy
Who We Are
Exceptional Village Academy is a small school that helps students in grades 6 through 12 learn in ways that work best for them. We create an online learning environment where students feel connected, encouraged, and capable of achieving more than they imagined. Our personalized learning environment supports diverse learners from across the United States, with current enrollment spanning ten states: California, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, New Jersey, Ohio, South Carolina, Texas, and Maryland.
Our Story
Exceptional Village Academy began in 2020 during a season of change. What started as a small idea grew into a thriving online community built on connection, care, and creativity. Our founder, Anna Thompson, is a Georgia certified educator with more than thirty years of experience teaching and designing curriculum for students who learn differently. Her heart for education shaped EVA into what it is today, an online school that honors individuality and celebrates growth.
The EVA Experience
At EVA, learning happens through connection. Our classes feel more like conversations than lectures. Students share ideas, ask questions, and take ownership of their learning in ways that prepare them for life beyond school. Families appreciate the personal communication, consistent support, and meaningful growth they see every week. EVA is where students find confidence, purpose, and a sense of belonging.
Our Village
Every student who joins EVA becomes part of a caring community that learns together, celebrates progress, and supports one another. Our school remains small so no one is overlooked, and every learner can thrive. At EVA, we grow together with encouragement, understanding, and purpose.
Our Purpose
EVA was created to help students see that learning is more than memorizing facts. It’s about developing curiosity, confidence, and courage. Our approach gives students the freedom to learn at their own pace while discovering how their interests connect to the real world.
