Extremely competitive environment. Takes a special type of ambitious, intrinsically driven, child to thrive here. Teaches kids skill such as confidence in ones ability to perform as well as how to talk to adults in a professional manner, these are skills that just can't be learned in public school. There is a lot of extreme social, academic, and athletic pressure to perform well here. There is little to no space for type B personalities and you will find a lot of extremely driven "Work hard play hard" type students here! its always "go go go go time" at NA
We are blown away by our wonderful experience! As a parent of two young children, I wanted to choose a school where my children would flourish and be happy yet academically challenged. We found the perfect school in Norfolk Academy.
The teachers are always there to provide support and help us in any way they can. We live by our honor code and it is the basis of life at the school which provides a strong foundation of trust that we have at the school. Many of our teachers serve as coaches as well and it allows us to get to know them both in and out of the classroom for a better relationship. I have been going to this school since first grade and there honestly isn't any other school that I would want to call home. The connections I have made will last a lifetime and I will never be able to say thank you enough to all of the faculty. We go through a rigorous work load but it is all in preparation for college, and for that I feel like I will be secure going into my freshman year.
