CARVER COLLEGE AND CAREER ACADEMY

Carver College and Career Academy (CCCA), located in Chester, Virginia, is a specialized educational institution within the Chesterfield County Public Schools system.

The school is structured to provide hands-on, industry-aligned instruction in various career clusters, ranging from skilled trades and culinary arts to healthcare and emerging technologies. By focusing on experiential learning and industry certifications, Carver College and Career Academy aims to ensure that students graduate with both a high school diploma and the practical, marketable skills necessary to succeed in a competitive modern economy.
