Chesapeake Bay Academy

Thank you, Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art, for the wonderful visit! Great conversations and an inspiring visit today as we look ahead to an exciting year of partnership!

We're grateful for the opportunity to strengthen our co-curricular collaboration and explore new ways to create meaningful learning experiences for students. Together, we're building opportunities that extend beyond the classroom, fostering curiosity, confidence, and real-world connections.

Looking forward to all we'll accomplish together this year!

🚀 Another amazing week at CBA Summer Camp!

As we head into our final week, campers are continuing to grow academically, build friendships, and make lasting memories. This week's character trait was courage, and students practiced stepping outside their comfort zones, trying new things, and believing in themselves.

📚 In the classroom:

Younger readers strengthened phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension through hands-on activities and interactive read-alouds.
Older students built decoding and reading comprehension skills while practicing writing and math concepts, including division and place value.

🌎 Afternoon fun included:

🍓 Creating edible solar systems during Tasty Buds Tuesday.
🌙 Exploring the phases of the moon with Oreo cookies.
💙 Reflecting on courage through the book I Am Courage, learning that bravery means trying, persevering, and believing in yourself—even when something feels hard.

We can't wait to finish the summer strong with one more week of learning, discovery, and fun! ☀️📖✨

Not every child who struggles in school lacks ability. Sometimes, they simply need a learning environment that works with how they learn. 💙

Every child learns differently, and recognizing the signs early can make a meaningful difference in their academic journey and confidence.

At Chesapeake Bay Academy, we believe every student deserves the opportunity to thrive. Through small class sizes, individualized instruction, and a supportive community, we empower students with learning differences to build confidence, discover their strengths, and reach their full potential.

If these signs resonate with your family, we'd love to connect and share more about what makes CBA unique.

Transitions can be one of the biggest challenges for children with executive functioning differences. Simple strategies like visual schedules, advance warnings, predictable routines, and breaking tasks into smaller steps can make a meaningful difference.

At CBA, we build these supports into every school day, helping students navigate transitions with greater confidence, less anxiety, and increasing independence.
