|  |  Welcome to the Norfolk Academy website! Our school is a leader among independent schools with roots that date to 1728, making us the 8th oldest secondary school in the country. As you explore our website, you will certainly gain a sense of our mission, our talented and energetic community, and the exciting opportunities that characterize this historic institution.
One of the distinctive features of Norfolk Academy’s rigorous, college preparatory program is its clarity of purpose. We believe in teaching values. We work hard to live by our conviction that moral values and an honest character are more important in defining a person than is academic or social success.
We also believe in excellence. With high expectations, we constantly push ourselves to do and be better. We believe, however, that striving for excellence in a moral vacuum without concern for others is a hollow endeavor. As a result, you will find Norfolk Academy to be a rich environment in which our challenging academic program is grounded in a highly developed moral and ethical foundation.
We invite you to take a close look at us. Our website will give you a glimpse of our beautiful campus, impressive facilities, comprehensive program, and remarkable people, but please visit us if you can. You will meet our dedicated teachers and their eager students. You will see firsthand our traditions of morning chapel, family-style lunches, serious study, close relationships, teacher-coaches, Boy and Girl of the Day, and senior speeches….not to mention spirited athletic competition and stunning arts performances. The place is abuzz with activity and our bright and diverse student body is both engaging and fully engaged. You will quickly begin to understand why generations of parents and graduates prize and appreciate this special place.
I look forward to meeting you on campus and welcoming you in person.
Sincerely,
Dennis G. Manning
Headmaster
