CARE Academy is a project-based learning community where compassion, curiosity, and real-world action drive education. Our 8-18 year old learners grow through mentorship, collaboration, and the freedom to turn their passions into meaningful change.At CAREducation, we live this standard, leading the way of care. At CARE Academy, we bring caring education to life in northern Virginia through creative projects and building community around collaborative rigorous learning.
