Making a Distinctive Difference
The hallmark of HRA is its cultivation of a community of compassion and excellence that nurtures the whole student. Now, in the challenging years since 2020, this community is achieved through a top quality academic program, personal attention to each student, and an environment which is safe and healthy both physically and emotionally. Every student is encouraged to explore a variety of experiences, academic and extra-curricular, from the science labs, to the playing fields, to the stage. At HRA, each student is valued for, and encouraged to cultivate their individual strengths.
Our Mission: Hampton Roads Academy, an inclusive community of service and compassion, prepares students to excel intellectually, artistically, physically, and morally in higher education and in life.
