Middleburg Academy

Middleburg Academy was founded in 1965. Originally a girls boarding school, in 1990 it became a co-educational day school. In 2000, the school was purchased by the Board of Trustees and in 2009 became a fully independent, nonsectarian school. It closed in June 2020.

The school is open to students of all faiths who seek an independent, co-educational, college preparatory high school in the Northern Virginia area. Of the twenty-seven full-time members of faculty, seventeen hold one or more advanced degrees with five holding PhDs. Advanced placement (AP) courses are offered in all academic disciplines.

Students participate in a variety of clubs and organizations such as Green Club, Spirit Club, Yearbook, Student Council, and the Varsity Club. All students must be accepted into one four-year accredited college, pass all classes in their senior year, and fulfill an annual mandatory twenty-five hour community service prerequisite in order to graduate.

Each student is assigned to an Advisory group, which is a group of ten to twelve students and one faculty member. Advisory groups meet twice a week. The faculty member acts as a liaison to parents for information about upcoming school activities and for a first contact when students need guidance.

More than 90% of Middleburg Academy Students participate in athletics. Middleburg Academy has a variety of athletics including basketball, field hockey, soccer, lacrosse, cross-country, baseball, golf, volleyball, swimming, and tennis teams. There is a no-cut sports policy allowing for all of the students to be a member on a sports team.
