"Norfolk Academy is an independent co-educational day school in Norfolk, Virginia. Chartered in 1728, it is the oldest secondary school in Virginia and the eighth oldest in the United States. In 1966, Norfolk Academy merged with Country Day School for Girls in Virginia
Beach, Virginia to create the current co-educational school. The school fosters competitive sports, competing in the Tidewater Conference of Independent Schools (TCIS). Males compete in the Virginia Preparatory League (VPL) and females in the League of Independent Schools (LIS)." The school population is largely
white Christians, although there is a
good percentage of Jewish students, as well as African Americans, and other minority races. Half of the graduating class are 12 year survivors,
studying at the school from 1st to 12th grade. Usually the school gets a bad rap for being spoiled and full of themselves. This may be the
case for a student or two, but isn'
t true at every school? I encourage you not to judge the whole school by the actions of a
small percentage, and a great
deal of the students take
pride in the schools honor code, and the academic excellence and strength of character that the school boasts.
1st
person: Norfolk Academy kids buy their way into college. The only reason I didn't get into that college is because (insert foolish excuse).
2nd
person: No, the reason you didn't get into that college is because you slack off. Academy kids are the cream of the cop academically, and
work their buts off.
