Florence, South Carolina – Virtus Academy staff, teachers convened in Florence to celebrate the opening of its new Upper School facilities with a ribbon-cutting ceremony last Thursday. Attended by board members, teachers, staff, and local Chamber Ambassadors, this event signifies a major increase meant to assist children ranging in seventh through twelfth grade.
Located at 2407 Pisgah Road, Virtus Academy, a tuition-free K–12 public charter school serving Florence, Darlington, and nearby counties, boldly displayed the new facilities expected to improve the educational experience for its upper-grade students. Approved by The Charter Institute at Erskine, the institution has dedicated itself to promote intellectual excellence and human development.
The event started with a warm welcome from Virtus Academy’s Executive Director, Dr. Carpenter, who expressed excitement about the school’s expansion.
“It’s an exciting time for Virtus Academy as it now has all the facilities space it will need for the next several years,” Dr. Carpenter said. This expansion will support the academy’s mission to foster academic excellence and personal growth for its students.
The attendees were encouraged to visit the new facilities which feature contemporary classrooms, science labs, and cooperative areas meant to support a more dynamic learning process.. The newest technology in these areas guarantees that students have the tools they need to excel in a competitive academic landscape.
The growth is about more than just physical space; it also about the possibility to improve extracurricular activities and instructional programs supporting complete student development. The new buildings will enable a wider spectrum of fields and creative teaching strategies in what appears to be an essential part to the academy’s final goal.
With education increasingly connected to technology development and innovative teaching strategies, Virtus Academy’s new Upper School buildings offer a forward-looking approach to learning. The school’s administration is excited about the prospects this expansion brings, as it will not only accommodate more students but also provide them with a robust platform for future success.
