Admissions Information Sessions
Hampton Roads Academy offers on-campus admissions events throughout the academic year for future Navigators and their families. These events offer opportunities for families to explore our school’s facilities, meet faculty, learn about HRA’s curriculum and extracurricular offerings, and gain firsthand insight into the school’s dynamic learning environment. Additionally, future students have the opportunity to observe classroom activities, interact with teachers, and gain a deeper understanding of the school’s educational philosophy. These weekly events provide invaluable opportunities for prospective families to learn about what makes HRA different and make informed decisions about their child’s education.
Drop by any Wednesday between 8:30 and 11:00 am—no RSVP required—to get a feel for student life at Hampton Roads Academy. Led by our Office of Admissions, this event covers all grade levels and provides valuable information on the admission process. The goal is to help your child envision themselves as a student at our school and discover what makes our school unique.
A prospective student spends a portion of the day on campus alongside one of our Student Ambassadors. This prospective student will typically attend 3-4 classes, eat lunch with our students, and meet with faculty members. This Shadow Day can be completed in conjunction with or separate from the Admissions Assessment. Please note that students must first apply before attending a Shadow Day!
