Welcome to Vanderbilt Charter Academy - Elevating Education, Building Character™

Vanderbilt Charter Academy is a tuition-free public charter school in Holland serving students in grades Y5-8. We shape instruction to build on the strengths and abilities of each student and integrate Moral Focus™ lessons into every school day. As a result, our students are well-prepared from young 5s through eighth grade. A Stanford University study found National Heritage Academies partner-school students gained the equivalent of 3.5 months of additional learning each year compared to peers.

Vanderbilt Parent

So far I have seen nothing but GOOD things at Vanderbilt. It has a great structure for children. I have already seen a difference in both my girls since being in a more positive school atmosphere. Great job teachers and staff!
