Strategic Plan

At Hampton Roads Academy, we believe we succeed when our students do – whether it is in the classroom, on stage, on the field or out in our community.  Our responsibility is to create an environment where every student can succeed but also learn how to fail and grow.  We must be ambitious and bold while remaining grounded in our mission of preparing students to excel intellectually, artistically, physically, and morally in higher education and life.  We must be committed to enhancing the quality of our academic programs, co-curricular programs, athletic and artistic offerings, while maintaining a safe and nurturing environment for the social and emotional development of our students.  We must ensure HRA is recognized as a leader in education and student development.  Finally, we cannot be afraid to drive change, to be better for our students, faculty, families, and community.

 

Hampton Roads Academy prepares students for life in college and beyond by offering a comprehensive program of excellence through strong academics, athletics and supporting extracurriculars, as well as by fostering an environment of honor, integrity, service, diversity, and inclusion.  We are committed to developing curious, creative, critical thinkers and leaders who can communicate information and opinions in a concise and persuasive manner from a global perspective.  We will build upon our strong JK-12 educational program with a focus on innovation and hands-on learning.

 

 

 

 

 

Hampton Roads Academy promotes meaningful engagement both on campus as well as in the greater community.  By strongly connecting current and former students, faculty, staff, and families, we build lasting relationships that enhance the student experience alongside helping students develop intellectual independence.  Our off-campus partnerships provide experiential and service-learning moments that will motivate life-long commitment to contributing positively to the broader community.

 

 

 

 

Strong enrollment, generous philanthropy and prudent fiscal management are critical elements of our continued success.  Strategic stewardship of our school’s resources will ensure the long-term relevance and sustainability of Hampton Roads Academy.  To do this, we must build and nurture connections with our current families, alumni, and the greater geographic community.

 

 

Our campus supports 3 unique environments between our lower, middle, and upper schools and is core to meeting our student needs.  We will continuously evaluate the effectiveness of our campus, optimizing the footprint and ensuring it cultivates an environment for both teaching and learning while inspiring our students to create, innovate and work together.

 

 

 

Hampton Roads Academy is committed to building and supporting a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion.  Preparing our students for life in college and beyond, requires diversity and inclusion to be woven throughout our curriculum, programs, policies and hiring practices.  We must demonstrate through words, actions and programs, our inclusive and compassionate environment while promoting awareness, acceptance, and diversity for the HRA community.
