Chesapeake Bay Academy

Our middle school students had an amazing time at this year’s Beach Day filled with outdoor adventure, laughter, and community! 🌊☀️

Thanks to support from Chesapean Outdoors, students enjoyed kayaking, paddle boarding, swimming, water sliding, and time together in the sand and sunshine.

A special thank you to the parents who joined us and helped make the day such a success. We’re so grateful for our incredible CBA community! 💙

Virtual reality isn’t the future of education — it’s already transforming how students learn. 🌐🥽

From virtual field trips to immersive, hands-on experiences, VR helps students engage more deeply and retain more. That’s the kind of innovation driving CadetNet Virtual Academy at CBA.

We believe learning should be interactive, collaborative, and connected to the real world — preparing students for the future they’ll actually live and work in.

TONIGHT: 5-9pm! Join fellow CBA families, students, faculty, and staff @ Jason's Deli for a fun evening of great food and community while supporting our school! 20% of proceeds from the evening will go directly back to CBA! Includes dine-in, and to-go orders.

What started as a quick interview with Lower School Class President Carter R. became a great reminder of the friendships and support that define CBA.

Over lunch, students shared their favorite parts of the day, talked about helping and encouraging one another, and proudly reflected on friendship, inclusion, and doing their best. Their kindness and connection showed exactly what makes the CBA community so special.

Congrats to this year's Winners! Thanks to all who braved the weather on Monday! More photos and results: https://cba-va.org/golf-classic/

Year #9! CBA selected as “School of Excellence” by NASET

CBA is proud to be recognized as a 2026 School of Excellence by the National Association of Special Education Teachers (NASET) — the ninth consecutive year CBA has earned this distinction.
As the highest honor awarded to licensed private special education schools, the recognition reflects CBA’s continued commitment to excellence in serving students with learning differences.
NASET supports and advances the field of special education through professional resources, advocacy, and a national network of educators.

Upper schoolers recently participated in the Congressional Art Competition, a nationwide program sponsored by the U.S. House of Representatives to recognize high school artists.

Congratulations to 11th grader Zachary G., whose photograph Union Pacific Railroad was selected for display in Congresswoman Jen Kiggans’ district office for the next year as part of the 2026 competition celebrating America’s 250th Anniversary.

Zach attended this week’s reception and ceremony with student artists from across Virginia Beach. In his artist statement, he shared that his work highlights the important role railroads — especially the transcontinental railroad — played in connecting the country.

We are proud to see Zach share his talent and photography with the broader community!
