Who We Serve
Chesapeake Bay Academy is the only independent school in Southeastern Virginia dedicated to serving students grades 1-12 with a variety of learning differences including:
- dyslexia, dysgraphia and dyscalculia
- ADD/ADHD
- twice exceptional learners (2e)
- language-based learning difficulties
- auditory processing deficits
- fine motor dysfunction
- developmental delays
- level 1 ASD
- other health impairments
Beyond all of these labels, CBA students are capable young people who can find success in the classroom when they receive instruction in the way that they learn best.
CBA is licensed by the Virginia Department of Education to operate as a private day school for students with a Specific Learning Disability (SLD), Developmental Delays (DD), Speech and Language Impairments (SLI), Autism (AUT) and Other Health Impairments (OHI).
Chesapeake Bay Academy does not have a therapeutic component and cannot accept students with emotional/behavioral disorders (ED), nor students with intellectual disabilities (ID). The application process is very thorough to ensure that our students are well served by the curriculum and services available here.
