Tuition
Founded in 1728, Norfolk Academy is an independent day school preparing students in grades 1-12 for scholarship and leadership. The student-led Honor System and the teacher-coach model shape trusted relationships. In our supportive community, children not only gain an outstanding education, but they develop their voice, strengthen their character, identify their passions, and stretch their limits. They learn that they have a role to play in creating a just society. Our array of unique programs includes Engineering, Design, and Innovation, which starts in first grade; our Speech Program; International Programs; and the Batten Leadership Program which shapes students into compassionate leaders through experiential learning and service. The school cultivates artistic expression and appreciation, and we have more than 70 athletic teams. Norfolk Academy prepares citizen-scholars—young people with the capacity and the desire to effect meaningful change wherever they go.

The Speech Program
Students grow into poised and dynamic public speakers through a time-tested program that builds confidence. From 1st grade, our students are given leadership and speaking roles as Boy-of-the-Day and Girl-of-the-Day. Ninth graders deliver a 5-7 minute persuasive speech to faculty and peers. The Senior Speech is at once a capstone and celebration of each student's accomplishment in public speaking.
