Golden Pond School is an early childhood school in Ashburn, Virginia, serving children ages 2 to 9. Programs include half-day preschool, full-day preschool enrichment, a five-day kindergarten running 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., after-school enrichment for kindergarten through 3rd grade, and a themed summer camp. The campus is open 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. with part-time and full-day options. The school's approach, called the Golden Pond Way, blends curriculum with research on how young children learn. Classrooms are hands-on and investigation-driven, and preschool children are grouped in six-month age ranges so teachers can individualize instruction. The stated aim is building confidence, independence, executive function, and social-emotional skills. Golden Pond is non-faith-based and fully accredited, recognized by Cognia, Middle States, and the Virginia Council for Private Education. The Ashburn campus has 12 classrooms and three playgrounds and serves more than 300 families each year.

Virginia Academy is a private Christian school in Ashburn, Virginia, serving preschool through 12th grade. Its programs are organized as preschool for ages 2 to 4, elementary school for kindergarten through grade 5, and upper school for grades 6 through 12. The school was founded by and is supported by Community Church and teaches from a stated Christian worldview. Academically, the school offers advanced placement and accelerated coursework, Bible, foreign language, and physical education at least twice a week, and electives including drama, computers, art, and chorus. An academic support coordinator works with families to build individualized plans for students who need remediation as well as those who need enrichment or acceleration. On a case-by-case basis and at a parent's request, the school will review a student's IEP, use testing to identify learning gaps, and have a specialist prescribe a curriculum. Additional fees may apply to these programs. Virginia Academy holds accreditation through the International Christian Accrediting Association, Cognia, and ACSI. A 60,000 square foot expansion completed in fall 2024 added upper school classrooms, science labs, a library and digital resource room, and an NCAA regulation gymnasium.
