The Virgin Islands Department of Education (VIDE) is excited to welcome students, parents, faculty, and staff to the 2025–2026 school year, officially beginning on Wednesday, August 13, 2025. With just 30 days to go, VIDE has launched its Back-to-School Countdown Campaign, a daily initiative designed to keep families informed, engaged, and fully prepared for a successful start.
This year’s theme, “Igniting Innovation & Elevating Excellence,” sets an inspiring tone for the school year ahead, emphasizing academic achievement, creativity, and continuous growth across every school in the Territory. Throughout the 30-day countdown, VIDE will be sharing important reminders, helpful tips, and updates to support a successful return to school for all stakeholders.
