Accreditation

Norfolk Christian is proud to be one of the few faith-based schools in Virginia to earn accreditation with the Virginia Association of Independent Schools. VAIS requires a rigorous accreditation process which examines programming, curriculum, classroom techniques and faculty to ensure the highest level of excellence.

We also maintain accreditation with Cognia (formerly AdvancED) as a Preschool through grade 12 private school.
