Williamsburg Collegiate Charter School
Veronica Fraser: My son attended this school for four years, and it was the most rewarding years of his school experience thus far. At Williamsburg Collegiate students are not only prepared to succeed scholastically, but they are trained to succeed and become winners in life, thus becoming useful and productive citizens. I love WCCS, it's well trained teachers and principal who instill discipline,hard work and consistency in every student. I would highly recommend WCCS to anyone and anytime.
