Ryan Academy Of Norfolk

As a parent of Ryan Academy, I know that the school year of 2014-2015 is challenging but also rewarding for the students. Because of the overall lack of enrollment for many of the private schools in the Hampton Roads area. Ryan Academy is only offering grades 1 – 5 this school year, but the plan is to resume middle school 6 – 8 grades with-in the next couple of years. The current school staff and HAS are in the process of trying rebuilding the school from the bottom up. What that means is they are working on accreditation's and hopefully using educational technology such as IPads as well as the computer lab to give the students a leg up on learning.

My son has been going to Ryan Academy for the past 2 years and has grown by leaps and bounds academically and socially, the teachers are great with their students and are able to give individualized instructions to a student that may be having trouble. This is what is great in a small classroom setting.

Ryan Academy is a small, independent school offering a college preparatory, 1st through 12th grade experience to as wide a cross section of families as possible. We have a family-like atmosphere that allows us to work with individual students to move them through our shared curriculum. Our graduates are accepted at virtually any college / university in the region, and typically do very well.

Ryan Academy is affordable small private school, but what is most important to us is the small class size and the individual attention students receive. The teachers care about the students being successful and are always available. Our children are happy in school even when they are having academic difficulties - and for our family that says it all.

This is an affordable, small school with great extracurriculars that values the learning of indivudual students
