Making Waves Academy is a public charter school with a long and rich history in the Richmond community— a campus where students grow, belong, and prepare for what’s next.
Making Waves Academy is proud to call Richmond home.
As a public charter school, we serve students and families from across the Richmond community. We offer a rigorous, supportive education in a place that reflects the diversity, resilience, and strength of the city itself.
Our campus is more than a school building. It’s a space where students feel known, supported, and inspired to imagine their future.
Modern classrooms, collaborative learning spaces, and college-ready academic environments designed to support rigorous instruction.
Student gathering areas, outdoor spaces, and common areas that foster relationships, community, and a sense of belonging.
Facilities that support arts, athletics, and enrichment—helping students discover interests and build confidence beyond the classroom.
Our students are deeply connected to the Richmond community—and our campus reflects that connection.
At Making Waves Academy, our Richmond campus is intentionally designed to be safe, welcoming, and empowering so students can focus, take risks, and grow into who they’re meant to become.
It’s a place where high expectations meet deep care and where students begin building the future they deserve.
