Accreditation
Norfolk Christian is proud to be one of the few Christian schools in Virginia to earn accreditation with the Virginia Association of Independent Schools (VAIS.) VAIS requires a rigorous accreditation process which examines programming, curriculum, classroom techniques and faculty to ensure the highest level of excellence.
From the VAIS website: “Founded in 1973, VAIS is the leader in advancing and advocating for independent school education in Virginia. The VAIS accreditation program is one of a select few recognized at the international level through the International Council Advancing Independent School Accreditation (ICAISA). VAIS also is recognized and approved by the Virginia Board of Education through the Virginia Council for Private Education (VCPE).”
Norfolk Christian also maintains accreditation with Cognia, formerly AdvancED, as a Preschool through grade 12 private school.
