Gifted Visual Arts Program

The Gifted Visual Arts Program, grades 6th - 8th, is located at Virginia Beach Middle School. These students have the opportunity to participate in the Visual Arts Program as part of their regular school schedule and the Gifted Visual Arts Program will be embedded in the middle school student’s schedule.

With the introduction of advanced courses at the middle school level in the early 1990’s, including high school credit courses, maintaining a balance between academic achievement and the development of artist talents has been a challenge for many students in grades 6th - 8th. Because Virginia Beach City Public Schools is committed to the development of artist talents and abilities in both academic and artistic areas, the Gifted Visual Arts Program at Virginia Beach Middle School has been designed to support students in both their academic and art development.
