Summary: The term “student life” includes nearly everything at the Miller School of Albemarle that’s not solely a part of the academic program. From boarding life in Old Main and Wayland Hall to weekend off-campus activities and the use of leisure time, Student Life encompasses a great deal. Our Director of Student Life is charged with overseeing these parts of our program at Miller School as we aim to educate the whole person – not only in the classroom, but also in the many venues for activities that take place away from the classroom. In addition to teaching, all adults at Miller School play vital roles in our Student Life program – as advisors, role models, coaches, mentors, de facto parents, and friends to our 150 students.

Summary: The Miller School of Albemarle’s athletic program embodies the spirit of the school’s mission by educating the mind, hands, and heart through healthy and balanced athletic competition and team membership. For well over a century, MSA student-athletes have competed with integrity, determination, and spirit, leading teams that honor the traditions and high standards of our institution in each athletic endeavor. Most students participate in three seasons of athletics, which range from traditional team sports to our unique endurance cycling program. Art in its various forms also plays a vital role in educating the minds, hands, and hearts of Miller School of Albemarle students. Whether on stage, in front of an easel, in the darkroom, behind a table saw, or in a specially designed instrument rehearsal space, MSA students are encouraged to explore the wonders of art and to discover the richness that artistic activity can add to their lives.

Summary: For our students, the Miller School of Albemarle college counseling process begins in Grade 10 and continues all the way through to the spring semester of Grade 12, when our seniors learn of their college acceptances. Grade 11 is a particularly important year in the college counseling process as our juniors focus on taking their SAT exams and on narrowing the list of college and universities in which they may be interested. Each year, the School updates its College Placement Manual and seeks to provide a maximum level of assistance to our students and their parents. This assistance also includes the coordination of both on-campus visits from college representatives and off-campus trips that give both day and boarding students the opportunity to attend open houses and discovery days at colleges throughout Virginia. All members of the Class of 2011 were accepted into nationally recognized universities, with 50% accepted at top 50 National Universities.
