At Cape Henry, we know, value, and challenge each student

Located on a 30-acre campus in a residential area within five miles of the Atlantic Ocean, Cape Henry Collegiate serves over 1,050 students representing the entire Hampton Roads community. 

The academically challenging curriculum is responsive to each child's needs and is supported by a strong Honor Code. There is a 10-to-1, student-to-teacher ratio, and the educational process is a cooperative endeavor among students, parents, and faculty.

The world has changed, now education has too.

At Cape Henry Collegiate, we go beyond opening your child to a world of possibilities to offering them an unprecedented array of real-world educational opportunities that span not only an exceptionally diverse and dynamic curriculum, but also the globe. Theirs is a journey of self-discovery that ignites a love of learning and forms the foundation for a lifetime of personal fulfillment, achievement and success. 

“The most heartwarming thing about CHC is how everyone in the community supports each other–basketball fans cheer for the cheerleaders, sports teams applaud at Cabaret and rocking musicians watch friends in a mock Supreme Court. We want other students to feel this sense of community and have the same opportunities and experiences."
