EDUCATION 

Our schools offer comprehensive programs for children of all ages, including those with special needs or who are gifted. Some of the regions districts also offer enrichment and remedial programs for the adult learner. A community college and two four-year liberal arts schools also serve the area. 

THREE PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICTS, each governed/managed by its own school board, serve the Staunton, Waynesboro and
Augusta County region. The region also offers a number of parochial and private schools and a vocational-technical school. 

PUBLIC SCHOOLS
The Augusta County school system consists of twelve elementary, three middle and five high schools?Buffalo Gap, Fort Defiance, Riverheads, Wilson Memorial, and Stuarts Draft. Enrollment averages about 11,000 students. The Staunton school district consists of four elementary schools, one middle school, one high school (Robert E. Lee). Enrollment is normally about 3,000. The Waynesboro school system includes four elementary schools, one middle school and one high school (Waynesboro), also with an enrollment of about 3,000. 

All three school systems participate in the Shenandoah Valley Governor's School. SVGS is a program for gifted, talented and highly motivated students. Students choose one of two parallel programs, MST (mathematics, sciences, and technology) or AH (arts, humanities). SVGS serves approximately 160 gifted and talented 11th and 12th grade students from Augusta County, Staunton, Waynesboro and Fishersville. 

PRIVATE AND PAROCHIAL SCHOOLS
Parents wishing to enroll their children in private or parochial schools have numerous options within the region. Several of these private schools are members of the Greater Augusta Regional Chamber of Commerce?Grace Christian School, Guardian Angel Academy, and Fishburne Military School. Several non-sectarian private day schools offer smaller classes and focus on college-preparatory programs, military training and/or independent learning. Parents seeking a Christian-based education for their children can choose from dozens of schools representing many denominations. Stuarts Hall in Staunton provides a college preparatory education to its resident students. Affiliated with the Episcopal Church since 1844, it offers a supportive, family-like environment for boarding school girls in grades 8-12 as well as day school girls and boys in grades 6-12. 

CHILD CARE PROGRAMS
Working parents can be at ease, knowing that their children are well cared for in Augusta County, Staunton, Waynesboro and Fishersville. Public, private and religious institutions throughout the area offer a variety of day-care programs for pre-school, and pre-and after-school programs for older children. These licensed facilities offer a safe environment and qualified staff. Chamber member child-care facilities include Building Blocks Day Care, Grandmother's House of Learning and Development, and Growing Places Child Care. 

COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES
The commonwealth of Virginia has had a reputation for quality higher education dating back to the founding of the University of Virginia by Thomas Jefferson in 1819. Here in the central part of the Shenandoah Valley, residents have an exceptional selection of first-rate colleges and universities. If you live in Augusta County, Waynesboro or Staunton, the distance you are willing to drive only limits your choice of a university or college. 

Blue Ridge Community College is located mid-way between Harrisonburg and Staunton, just off exit 235 of I-81. Since it opened its doors to students in 1967, Blue Ridge Community College has served the higher education needs of residents throughout the Shenandoah Valley. Today, almost 18,000 students participate annually through its credit and non-credit programs at its main campus in Weyers Cave, and satellite locations in Waynesboro and Harrisonburg. Blue Ridge is acknowledged throughout the Commonwealth as one of the most technologically sophisticated colleges within the Virginia Community College system. 

Students can obtain Associate in Applied Science and Associate in Science and Arts degrees and participate in a transfer program, which enables them to obtain a bachelor's degree. Non-degree students can obtain certificates and diplomas in a number of technical fields. 

In partnership with Old Dominion University Teletechnet, the college offers students opportunities to earn their Bachelor's and/or Master's degrees by taking courses on the Weyers Cave campus. Programs are offered in more than nineteen areas and are taught via distance learning. 

The college also partners with local industry to provide ongoing training for the region's workforce through a number of non-credit classes and customized packages.
 

Mary Baldwin College is located on 54 acres in the heart of Staunton's Stuart Addition historic district. Since its founding in 1842 as the Augusta Female Seminary, Mary Baldwin College has served as a four-year liberal arts school for women. MBC's main campus is in Staunton. MBC also operates four regional centers?in Charlottesville, Richmond, Roanoke and Weyers Cave. In addition to a traditional residential program offering a B.S. or B.A. degree in 32 majors, the college offers a Program for the Exceptionally Gifted and the Virginia Women's Institute for Leadership program. Other programs include a Master of Arts in Teaching degree with an emphasis on K-8, plus a new Master of Letters/Master of Fine Arts degree in Shakespeare and Renaissance Literature in Performance. Enrollment exceeds 2,000. The college also offers a non-residential, co-educational Adult Degree Program offering a B.A. or B.S. degree. 

Eastern Mennomite University (EMU), located on the northwest side of Harrisonburg, is a fully accredited Christian liberal arts college. Its enrollment is about 1,500. EMU attracts students of diverse cultures and faiths from thirty-five states and twenty-five foreign countries. Consistently ranked among the top liberal arts colleges in the South in the "Best Colleges Guide" of U.S. News and World Report, the college recently was also named one of the best colleges in the nation.  

EMU offers an adult, part-time MBA program specifically designed for business owners and managers in the Shenandoah Valley. Classes are delivered in a variety of formats including lecture, case study, and group discussion. The MBA is normally completed in two and a half years. 

EMU offers forty undergraduate majors, four graduate programs, plus master's degrees in divinity and religion, and church leadership. Undergraduates must participate in a cross-cultural experience, usually overseas. EMU is ranked sixth in the nation in the percentage of students who study abroad. The college also offers an adult degree completion program, an intensive English program, the Summer Peacebuilding Institute and a Preparatory Music Program. 

Bridgewater College is also located midway between Harrisonburg and Staunton, three miles to the west of I-81, in the community of Bridgewater and is affiliated with the Church of the Brethren. Bridgewater has a student body of approximately 1,350 men and women from 24 states, and 8 foreign countries. The college offers a Bachelor of Arts Degree in 30 majors and a Bachelor of Science Degree in 20 majors. Electing to keep its enrollment small, Bridgewater maintains a faculty-student ratio of 1:14, giving students the opportunity for a more personalized academic experience. Bridgewater also offers a Bachelor of General Studies Degree, an individually prescribed degree program for mature adults. 

James Madison University is located in Harrisonburg, less than 40 minutes from most parts of the region. Since its founding in 1908, JMU has grown from a state normal and industrial school for women to today's coeducation comprehensive university with an enrollment of approximately 15,000. JMU offers flexible MBA programs geared toward working professionals. The Traditional Program is designed to offer quality graduate education to working professionals holding full-time positions in the Shenandoah Valley. The contract MBA Program utilizes on-site and distance learning while serving professionals in the greater D.C. Metropolitan area. A specialized concentration in the MBA Program is fully integrated with the concepts, practices and business implications of Information Security. It is the only program in the country offering such a specialized MBA.

Real Estate Tips
Selling Your Home >Spotless Homes Sell

Ideally, real estate agents want the properties we market to look spotless, but even the most impeccable housekeepers find it difficult to keep the house in prime showing condition all the time.

Keeping the beds perpetually made, dishes washed, bathrooms spotless and the closets neat is a lot of work. Is it worth it? Yes, it is -- if you want to get your house sold in a reasonable amount of time for the best price.

Often when buyers see normal household clutter, what registers is "this place hasn't been maintained." They see bathtub rings and think "plumber's bills." They see lint under the refrigerator and grease on the electric range and imagine having to replace all of the appliances. It isn't particularly logical, but people often respond with their feelings when buying a house. When making their final selection, buyers may be going on emotion and adrenaline rather than reason and logic. You can help your real estate agent by minimizing the amount of imagination they will need to fall in love with your home.
