I transferred to Nansemond-Suffolk Academy my sophomore year of high school (Fall 2020) and it has been the best decision of my life. I was having trouble making/keeping friends at my past school and because of this, my grades and mental health were taking a turn for the worst. I shadowed at NSA in February of 2020, this was probably the best day of my life and a turning point for my future. The kindness and community that I was greeted with was eye-opening and immediately helped me see the light at the end of the tunnel. When I stepped foot on campus as an official Saint, I was so scared about fitting in and finding friends. I was greeted with open arms and smiling faces. I found my true self at NSA! I would not be the outgoing, independent, and strong-willed person I am today if it wasn't for NSA. Everyone has the students' best interest at heart and will do anything to see them succeed. I highly recommend NSA to anyone that is thinking of enrolling their family!
Our daughter came from a smaller, very academically challenging, but old school learning environment to NSA. We were a bit concerned with the transition from a small private school to one much larger and we did a ton of research and toured several local private schools before making a final decision. As soon as we toured NSA, our daughter told us it was the right place for her. And she was right! She has absolutely blossomed in the NSA environment. She’s had several outstanding teachers at NSA and it has been amazing to see her feelings about a subject change entirely based on a teachers passion for the subject and their ability to ignite the same passion in our child. We are so glad we decided that NSA was the right fit for her. Academically she’s thriving, socially she’s fit right in and we are so excited to see what the future holds for her at NSA.
Nansemond-Suffolk Academy has been my home for over 6 years. When I first came there in 6th grade, I was extremely nervous about entering a new environment where I didn't know anyone, but on my first day they welcomed me with open arms and the rest was history!
