From the Voyager Academy Managing Director, June 3, 2018



Dear Viking Families,
It ha been an excellent year here at Voyager Academy! We couldn’t be more proud of all our students and their many accomplishments. As we finished our last celebration with our seniors at graduation last week, I wanted to share some of the highlights of the graduating class and encourage all our students to reach for the stars as they grow with us.


This year, 99% of our seniors went on to graduate! Of those,  are accepted and committed to an institution of higher learning, and one will be enlisting in the military. We administered 262 AP exams, our average ACT percentage increased by 1 point, our students who graduated with a service learning distinction clocked in over 2100 hours of community service!
Thank you again to the faculty and families who supported these graduates and we wish you much love and luck as you move on to your next venture!

Voyager Continues to Produce Top Scholar Athletes!

9 seniors signed to continue their athletic and academic careers at the college level; one of which was the first ever from Voyager to attend Duke University, and another to play basketball in the ACC (Wake Forest).    

At Voyager, athletes are 3 times more likely to be athletes in college than the national average.  

More Voyager Scholar Athlete Facts:
  • Four of our varsity teams finished in the top 10 in state championships, led by the tennis team, which was the regional runner up, wrestling finished 5th, men's soccer that lost in round of 8, and women's cross country that finished at #10.  
  • Both our baseball and tennis teams earned number 1 seeds in the state playoffs for the first time in school history.
  • Voyager Athletics had great individual performances at the state championships:
    • Jacari Deal (click here) won the 170 pound 1A state championship in wrestling. 
    •  Rosie Scott-Benson finished 3rd in the women's 1A 3200 meter race all of which will return to Voyager next year.
