The Norfolk Academy was founded in 1728 and remains one of the most prestigious schools in the United States today. The school primarily consists of wealthy, white, southern, Christians; although there are a decent amount of Jews at the school. The Norfolk Academy excels in many sports and gains national attention specifically in men’s lacrosse and men’s and women’s soccer. The school emphasizes the importance of the honor code and character development.

First I think I need to clarify things. I go to Norfolk Academy and we don't live up to any of your accusations . We do NOT look down on people that are less privileged , and we are NOT all stuck up . Just because we have the money to get the best education we can doesn't make us rich . It just means we made education one of the top things that we are willing to sacrifice other frivolities for. Yes, N.A. is a mostly white community , but I'm living proof that it's not just whites that go to N.a. they're Blacks like me , Hispanics, Asians, Indians, and more nationalities. And I don't understand why anyone would say mean things about the students,like how we won't go anywhere in life. I'm sorry you didn't get go to an amazing school like N.A. ,I really am....but it's not acceptable to put other people down just because you have issues ! Lots of the time people are on financial aid,which helps a lot , I know from personal experience.
Norfolk Academy is a really kool skool, and I'll be excited to go to return for middle school there this year!!!

"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.

Probably the second best school in Norfolk and the tenth best school in Virginia. Was once a prestigious school but now will pretty much accept anyone with an IQ over 60. Ofc, there are still old teachers and pretentious students (ie The shoe shiner) who think the school is Exeter. Academics are mid, but the athletic program is amazing (that's why the school is mostly jocks and narcs). The average female at NA has a body count of 19, give or take a few, and there are several cases where students have got it on within school boundaries. Most of the kids who go there are super chill, and the teachers are willing to ignore the racist jokes they make. Academy gets somewhat of a bad rap for being preppy, but its really not that preppy at all. The dress code is annoying but teachers barely care and wont dress code you at all. You could literally show up in a T-Shirt. The kids arent even rich, most are just middle class such as myself (the tuition is below average for a prep school and affordable for most middle-class families).

You should def send your kid there as long as he isnt a nerd and plays at least one sport
Student 1: Yo! Did you hear Mr. Manning is leaving Norfolk Academy
Student 2: Yeah! They say hes retiring but the school board is super mad at him for not properly dealing with the racial discrimination lawsuit and the viral tiktok racism complaint video, so they probably asked him to retire lol
Student 1: Dang bro, if he wasn't such a shitty person I would almost feel bad for him
