About Our School

Letter from Our Executive Director

Dear PSPVA Families and Students, 

I am truly honored and excited to introduce myself as the Executive Director of Pine Springs Preparatory Virtual Academy. With 25 years of leadership experience in both NC traditional districts and national charter school organizations, I am enthusiastic about fostering academic environments that inspire student achievement, personal growth, and community engagement. 

Throughout my career as a teacher, principal, and district leader, I have been committed to creating inclusive, supportive, and high-quality learning experiences where every student can thrive. At PSPVA, I see the incredible potential in our students and the unique opportunities that a virtual learning platform offers. Together, we will continue to build a strong academic foundation while nurturing your child’s creativity, critical thinking, and the confidence needed for success in the classroom and beyond. 

My vision is to collaborate closely with our dedicated staff, engaged parents, and talented students to ensure that PSPVA becomes a place where every learner is valued and supported in their academic journey. Pine Springs Preparatory Virtual Academy is affiliated with Pine Springs Preparatory Academy Charter School; however, we operate two separate programs. Should you need to communicate a question, concern, or need please contact us directly at 984-768-1200. You may also email me at [email protected]. I believe that through open communication and a shared commitment to excellence, we can continue to create a dynamic learning community that equips our students with the tools they need to reach their full potential. 

I look forward to serving each of you, hearing your insights, and working together to make this school year one of growth, innovation, and success. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any questions, ideas, or feedback. Together, we will achieve remarkable things! 

Warm regards, 

Shelton Jefferies
Executive Director 
Pine Springs Preparatory Virtual Academy, K-11
