Skipwith Academy at Forest Avenue is located in the historic home of Admiral Grey, Jr. and Kate Skipwith.  Located in the West End of Richmond, the brick English Tudor style house was built in 1927 on a civil war camp site.   Families enter from the slate patio, through a main door flanked by French doors, into an enormous parlor with oak floors that continue to run throughout the home. Off of the parlor, on the main floor, are classrooms located in what originally were the formal dining and family rooms. We are proud to have been part of the rich Richmond history for more than 20 years. Skipwith Academy has emphasized a quality child care program in a safe, clean friendly atmosphere in which to learn and grow.  We are proud to be Cognia accredited!   More than just a day care, Skipwith Academy provides early childhood education for children ages infants through school age in a nurturing and loving atmosphere designed to meet each child’s individual needs.  We look forward to welcoming you!

What Parents are Saying About Skipwith Academy

My daughter has been going to Skipwith for 2.5 years. She loves it there. She loves the directors and the teachers. They treat her so well. The school is historic and beautiful. The rates are about the same all the other centers in the area and they provide breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snack. In the summer they have educational fun field trips and a private pool, as well as in house events! We love Skipwith!.
