Chesapeake City Public Schools
Many of our communities are in a centralized location, close to everything you need and, most importantly, zoned for one of the best public school systems in Virginia.
Chesapeake City Public Schools serves over 39,000 students, with almost 5,700 teachers, administrators, and various support personnel. We have 45 schools and two centers, along with other special facilities, such as the Chesapeake Planetarium, our own radio station (WFOS FM), and our own TV station (CPS-TV). Our seven high schools, 10 middle schools, 28 elementary schools, Chesapeake Career Center, and Chesapeake Alternative School are all dedicated to high levels of performance. As evidence of our high standards, we have one of the highest on-time graduation rates and one of the lowest drop-out rates in the Commonwealth.
Academics, athletics, and the arts are carefully balanced, from the elementary level through the comprehensive high schools. There is a strong emphasis on academic skills, student engagement, and 21st century technology at all levels, which enhances instruction. Advanced Placement courses are offered in English, mathematics, science, social sciences, art, art history, computer science, and world languages. In addition to the many course opportunities available, Chesapeake offers special programs, including an International Baccalaureate Program, a Science and Medicine Academy, a Governor’s STEM Academy, and dual-enrollment courses that provide unique and diverse curriculums, designed to challenge students, as well as prepare them for college and career goals. In addition to enrichment opportunities for the gifted and talented, all student have opportunities to participate in regional and state academic competitions, comprehensive fine arts courses, and athletic programs; our goal is to develop well-rounded students who can showcase their talents in multiple capacities, while also growing socially and emotionally.
