I would suggest not sending your child here as the teachers do not help the students. Even students with a hard working ethic fail to succeed at this school.

There was mold in the theaters as well. For 30k a year, this is not worth it. Do better.

Dr. Hedrick has got to be the worst head of school there is. I went to Williams my 3rd and 4th…read moregrade years and it was nothing short of a horror show. The adults and parents take themselves too seriously and are the kind of adults that peaked in high school and think they have the authority to do and say whatever they want. The teachers love to embarrass students based on learning abilities and make sure nothing stays discreet. The school does absolutely nothing in the way of bullying besides some lousy posters. If you are getting bullied in The Williams school best believe your bully will not get any punishments or long term consequences. The kids there are also horrible and will shun anybody out of their circle who doesn't fit their requirements. Going there feels like an overpriced cult that you can't seem to get out of, and once you do you can't even remember why you went there in the first place.

When she took control of the school she brought along a teacher named Mrs. Pinner. We all hated her. She has a way of teaching that just shows she doesn't know what she is talking about. Once I had to tell her how to do an assignment. I found this absolutely outrageous. I also found that the way they would discipline was not the standard. Students can expect to get in trouble for being too loud on the stairs when really we are just talking. Students can expect to get locked out of a classroom even if your previous teacher let you out late. These two things can be excused as they aren't on a regular basis however the new management is awful. In conclusion Dr. Hedrick and Mrs. Pinner have got to go.

I go to Norfolk collegiate and I used to go to public school. My parents and I thought it would be…read morevery different. The only thing different is that there is more homework and the lunch is different. I am learning things already that I have learned in lower grades at my old public school. The real reason I am giving my school one star is because there is a lot of bullying going on. Involving me and many other students. I am the type of person to go to the staff to tell about bullying such as the guidance counselor, principal, and the dean of students. I went many times in the past year but nothing was ever solved. I have gone maybe 3-4 times this year and nothing is being solved. This year about me and other students getting bullied. Last year my mother called and that's when they actually handled it. If you are bringing your child to Norfolk collegiate for no bullying your gonna get a lot of it. And if your getting bullied bad the school will do nothing about it. They put online that they have 0% bullying, but that is not the truth. The school acts as if there is no bullying but two years a lot of kids were physically bullied by someone such as getting pushed into lockers and the school has covered it up. So I recommend to not bring your child to Norfolk collegiate because it is not a good environment to keep your child happy.

Our family has had the pleasure of attending St. Pius X Catholic School for 10 years now and…read morecurrently have all 4 of our children enrolled. Our kids have felt loved, encouraged, and appropriately challenged throughout their time there and have consistently *enjoyed* going to school. As parents we couldn't ask for more than the solid foundation St. Pius offers. We started our oldest (now 7th grader) in the Pre-K program years ago with the intention of determining whether St. Pius might be a good fit for elementary school. She (and the other siblings) haven't wanted to leave since! Our kids appreciate the close-knit community including their teachers and friends. We are a non-Catholic family (Protestant) and have always felt welcome. As our 3 oldest kids are now part of the amazing athletics program, our love for St. Pius has grown tremendously. Any child in grades 3-8 has the opportunity to participate in team sports and additional activities which significantly enhances their overall experience. Regarding academics, St. Pius is remarkably appropriate for any level student. We've watched Pius grads go to colleges such as the U.S. Naval Academy, Duke, etc. It would be equally beneficial for the student wanting to pursue trade school after high school graduation. St. Pius X is a local gem. We could send our kids to any private school in Hampton Roads and choose this school for the diverse student population it serves and the supportive and friendly environment it offers.

We had decided when we had children to homeschool so our children could learn a true biblical world…read moreview. We started at home and then found Stonebridge School. What was so impressive to us was the academic ranking nationally among the students, their maturity, self confidence and strong biblical world view. Add to that the personalized attention by every member of the staff and passion for teaching children we see in the Teachers and staff. I believe they are second to none. Both of my boys have excelled at the school and have a maturity and confidence we don't see in many of their peers who attend public schools. This school is worth a visit and once you come to the campus, meet the leadership and see the kids you'll feel good about becoming part of the Stonebridge family.

Stonebridge school has been nothing short of "fresh air" to me and my family. My kids have both…read morebeen there from Pre K through 4th grade. I went to public school and even substituted in local public schools. This school is night and day different. Stonebridge teaches differently and is very non apologetic about their biblical worldview approach and how they teach Christian Self Government. These are principles that don't and won't get taught in public school. Not only have I been over to ALL of my teacher's homes, I've prayed with them, and they have prayed for me. I've had teachers and parents reach out to me asking for prayer and for help. This doesn't happen in public schools. I also see how the parents are involved in this school. You have to be apart and you are to partner WITH the school to instill these principles into your child life. The school will help with direction, but they desire that you and them partner together to make learning fun and educational. Many parents show up for "special" days at school. I've never seen so much parent involvement and every classroom has a "room parent" where we have been invited over to their house for cookouts. They create facebook forums for us to discuss homework and also prayer requests for the children and faculty. Not only do parents help out in the classroom, but last summer we had a "work day" at the school and countless number of parents showed up to paint and help out around the school. Can you imagine that? Parents who are paying private school tuition willing to show up and WORK at a school for FREE. That's how much parents believe in this place. So We have been at the school for 5 years now and not only that, but I have substituted at ALL grade levels. I can't speak highly enough about the attitude of the kids. I have subbed in public schools and you WILL NOT find students who treat adults the same way. Also the students seem to be very close to each other. They go on trips together from when they are small all the way through their "senior trip". This school has also scored the highest score in the country with their seniors the last 2 years in a row for having a "biblical worldview". My wife and I both work in Greenbrier and were driving back and forth to Stonebridge. We both love the school so much that we decided to sell our house and move down the street from Stonebridge. Stonebridge has become a family away from family. We have invested in it and believe in it. It may not be for everyone and is it perfect? NO....Nothing is. But if you're looking for a solid education that is founded in biblical principles, a place for your child to make meaningful and long lasting relationships in life, a place where teachers really care and parents are involved, a place for you as parents to plug in and make many life long friendships; Then Stonebridge is the place for you.

However, my knowledge of the school is that it has a solid reputation. The portion of the school which houses the theater is definitely newer than the other portion of the campus. My guess is within 10 years, but this is only a guess. The parking lot and surrounding area where I parked was well maintained. Landscaping was fine, but nothing special in my opinion. Upon walking into the lobby of the theater I was immediately impressed by it's simple elegance. Not huge, but presented very well with a nice size chandelier in the lobby. There is an area to serve refreshments at intermission which worked out well later in the evening. Restrooms were adjacent to the left. I found them new, or updated unsure. They were clean, had soap and paper towels. Upon walking in the theater I was awe struck by the beauty of the venue. Seating for around 350 on red fold down chairs which proved very comfortable for the performance. Natural wood surrounds stage opening. Although the stage was not as wide as larger facilities it worked pretty good. However, the cast of "Honk" was somewhat crowded. Lighting and sound seemed appropriate the smaller theater. Again, review is NOT for the school only the theater. I really enjoyed myself and the Norfolk Collegiate School theater. Our family had a great time and really enjoyed the show too!

If you go there don't ever dare to question or advocate for your child or you'll be canceled, which is funny since we were asked to advocate on behalf of the school year end and year out. They will tell you what you want to hear, but dig deep in your research, ask around, buyer beware. They are no longer the Mighty Oaks. Oh, and they have the audacity to charge Norfolk Academy tuition levels for far fewer academic opportunities, support, and extracurricular activities for your children. We are the McCoy's and hopefully I just saved you some money.
