2026 Active RVA School Certification Application

Information about the application

How To Use This Application

Applying to be an Active RVA-Certified School is easy. Here are some tips:

No two schools are the same and so no two schools will have the same physical activity programs. Tell us about how your school has worked to specifically support your community and don't worry about how you compare to other schools.

Use this application as a jumping-off point! The initiatives and programs we ask about could spur your school to try new things. As you review the application, consider how you can start experimenting with the programs we reference.

Be as specific as you can in your answers. We love to hear real life stories of schools-in-action!

How We Use This Application

This is not a test! Your answers to our application give us a window on your school's programs and context, but we don't rule anyone out based on an answer to any one question.

Questions are welcome! Contact us at anytime if we can help you with this application OR help you plan new and improved programs for your school

School of the Year! After reviewing all of the applications, one organization will be selected as "School of the Year" based off their application and efforts.
