Welcome! Let's get started...

“Yes, Virginia, there is…” going to be a new school in Cape Charles in September 2009!

Thank you to all who have expressed interest and attended meetings so far in our efforts to form a new school, The Cape Charles Christian School. We’ll need your continued support and effort in the coming months as this becomes a reality.

First things first… we need to spread the word! Please forward this announcement to anyone you know who might like to become involved, attend, or donate. Encourage everyone to ask questions. We’d like to be as factual and informative as possible, and as such, we’ll be sending out a series of email updates and web site announcements to keep you all up to date on what’s going on with this exciting development for our town.


Background

How does such a thing come about? A small group of parents in Cape Charles set about exploring the possibilities of an alternative education option for lower Northampton County. After considering and rejecting the charter school model, they’ve focused on building a Christian school that will initially serve Pre K through 8th grades, with plans to expand to 9th through 12th, one grade per year in future years.

Our Mission

We are a group of parents, teachers, and members of the community who have come together with a common interest.

Our vision is to create an alternative education option for lower No rthampton County. This new school will provide an encouraging, supportive, creative environment for our children with an integrated Christian perspective. We will begin the first year of classes at Cape Charles Christian School in the Fall of 2009.

In addition, we recognize the revitalizing effect a school can have on its surrounding community and intend to rebuild what was once an important presence in Cape Charles by renovating the former Cape Charles High School.

Please join us in this exciting opportunity.
