Established in 1924, Cape Henry Collegiate School provides Pre-K through Grade 12 coed college preparatory education to over 1,000 students in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Their goal is to foster the growth of the individual. This process takes place in a nurturing environment in which the individual’s self-esteem and self-confidence are enhanced through close contact with a caring and dedicated faculty.

Cape Henry believes that the educational process is a cooperative endeavor among a diverse body of students, parents and faculty who together embark on a continuous learning process. Cape Henry Collegiate School encourages each student to develop talents and interests as an independent-minded person within the structure of the school community. Students are encouraged to engage in purposeful education preparing them for responsibilities and challenges of the future. In doing so, members of the Cape Henry student body will experience the discipline and excitement of academics, the pride of developing personal character and integrity in a learning environment governed by an Honor Code, the creative opportunities provided by the arts and extra-curricular activities, the rigor and pleasure of athletics, an awareness of and involvement with the community in which they live, and a respect for its diversity with the ultimate goal of placing responsible and educated citizens into our society.
