Our PTA serves every student attending the Brickell Academy for Advanced Academics and Arts at Old Donation School in Virginia Beach, Virginia. This includes    the   full-time academic program for gifted learners (grades 2-8), the gifted dance program (grades 3-8), and the gifted visual arts program for the elementary grad es (grades 2-5). 

​

 We are part of the National PTA®, a nonprofit association comprised of millions of families, students, teachers, administrators, and business and community  leaders. Together, we support educational success, and promote parent involvement in our school. 

​

Our PTA supports the dynamic and challenging curriculum of Brickell Academy with financial support, grant programs, scholarships, and organized volunteer efforts. We strive to support every grade level, with age-appropriate and interesting opportunities. And fun is not forgotten! With your help, we organize after-school clubs, game days, spirit nights, fun runs, chess competitions, art contests, and staff appreciation events.  Please join.

​

MONTHLY PTA MEETINGS: During the 2022-2023 school year the PTA will meet monthly on the third Friday at 12 pm.  Meetings will be streamed over Zoom.  If you would like a zoom link please email Brickellacademyptasecretary@gmail.com.
