Parents or legal guardians must complete and submit the online application<\/a> that can be found on our online portal.

A non-refundable application fee of $80.00 is required upon submission. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

Once Your Student Is Admitted<\/h2><\/div>

Before the start of the school year, we will request official transcripts from the student\u2019s previous school. During the summer, we will also reach out to coordinate your student\u2019s course schedule. Hampton Roads Academy requires documentary proof that every student has received the following vaccines as required by the Commonwealth of Virginia: diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, poliomyelitis, measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis B, and chickenpox. Please submit these records via our online health records system. These records must be received by our school nurse and\/or athletics program before each school year.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
