Chesapeake
Academy

We’re glad you’re here! At Chesapeake Academy, we’re proud to offer a joyful, challenging, and inclusive learning environment for students in Pre-K through 8th grade. 

Uniquely situated on Carter’s Creek off the Rappahannock River in Irvington, Virginia, Chesapeake Academy offers a truly dynamic learning environment, one in which creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, and communication are the hallmarks of each child’s educational experience. Our top-notch faculty takes learning out of the classroom, whether outside on our own nine acre campus, in our community, or beyond. CA students are always on the move!

We appreciate your patience as we update our website to better reflect the energy, programs, and community that make our school so special. Though our site is under construction, you can still discover information about our admissions, program, community, campus life, upcoming events, and giving through the navigation bar at the top of this page. Be sure to check out our 2024-2025 Gratitude Report, our annual celebration of the philanthropy that sustains Chesapeake Academy.  

Thank you for your patience as we continue to improve and expand our content. In the meantime, please don’t hesitate to contact us directly at (804) 438-5575 – we’d love to hear from you and schedule a visit to our campus.
