Our mission …

… is to provide residents of Rappahannock County and nearby areas with educational experiences that enhance knowledge, employability, and quality of life to build and sustain a stronger community.

Our story

Founded in 2015, Rappahannock Center for Education (RappCE) filled a critical gap in Rappahannock County's education and economic landscape, offering vital workforce training and lifelong learning opportunities for ten, successful years.

With no nearby community college or adult education options, RappCE stepped in to address this need, receiving approval from the State Commission on Higher Education in Virginia (SCHEV).

Our workforce training featured nationally accredited healthcare certification programs, including Medical Assistant, Phlebotomy Technician, Limited License Radiologic Technician, and Butchery and Culinary courses.

Our success has always been bolstered by strong community support and nonprofit partnerships that were instrumental to drive our mission forward.
