Rooted in compassion. Empowered by community. Inspired by wonder.

Via Vita Academy (VVA) began with a simple dream - to create a school where education could be something more. What started in 2016 with just 16 students has grown into a thriving, woman-owned, year-round school and childcare centre in the heart of Kwipew, Mi'kma'ki (Lower Sackville, Nova Scotia).

Today, VVA proudly offers:
PK–9 School
Summer/March Break Camps
Youth Leadership Programs
Before & After School Care

We remain intentionally small—so connection, curiosity, and community always come first.
