The Kanawha Valley’s newest charter school that provides an accelerated, dynamic nursing degree program for up to 60 high school juniors and seniors who are passionate and focused on a nursing career.

BVCTC will accept up to 60 high school students* — 30 juniors and 30 seniors — into this dynamic, accelerated degree program designed for students to complete high school and their first year of nursing school simultaneously.

After high school graduation, students will be automatically enrolled in BVCTC’s nursing program and will need just one more year to complete their associate degree and sit for the NCLEX-RN licensing exam.

High school juniors will take college courses that will prepare them to enter the nursing program as high school seniors.

During their senior year in high school, WIN Academy students will earn high school credits and community college credits while taking the first year of the RN program curriculum for BVCTC. The WIN Academy will offer accommodations and appropriate services to all types of learners.

Performance Standards

Students will complete assessments for each class they take throughout their two or three years, using evaluation methods such as essays, tests, lab reports, clinical assessments, presentations, etc.

To recruit WIN Academy students, BVCTC will deploy a multi-tiered effort to reach potential students, parents and community members with information about the unique opportunities of the WIN Academy.
