Chelsea Academy

Wonderful School, I interact with teachers, students, and administraters. In the ten years of interactions with the Institution they have always been improving. I work as a sports official and have had an oppurtunity to observe the school grow and improve. The students are engaging, intelligent and always well behaved. The teachers are always willing to speak about the students. The administraters have always been available for any issue that may arise. Quick to respond and always in a positive manner, Chelsea is one of my favorite places to work for all of these reasons.

Chelsea Academy is a small, well-organized Catholic School in an absolutely gorgeous setting. The campus and facilities are warm and inviting, as are the faculty and staff. As well, I had a number of interactions with students, one of whom played the piano for me when I asked. I could tell by the way the students spoke to the Headmaster and other teachers that they are used to treating one another with respect, and not just putting on a show for a visitor to their school. The children all appeared to be actively engaged in their lessons and work, happy, and with purpose. This school is a place where everyone seems to be aware of their mission and working together to accomplish it.

New location for Aug 2023 includes great new classrooms and better other facilities to go with the already-great K-12 education.

Chelsea Academy has been a warm and welcoming school from the very beginning when we become interested in applying for my oldest son to start fourth grade two years ago. Now he is currently in fifth grade and is thrilled with his school, classmates, and teachers. Throughout the admissions process up to the return to school BBQ, and the many school events, the staff, and students have gone out of their way to welcome my son and our family. We feel part of a big family and have come to appreciate the love for the school that the staff, students, and parents possess. Chelsea Academy has continually demonstrated that its productive learning environment with smaller class sizes and more one on one interaction between teachers and students, has made a profound impact on the students. All of the children have confidence and sincerity that I have never witnessed at any other school. I am proud to say that my son attends Chelsea Academy and I look forward to many more years with the school as my other son will be starting fourth grade at Chelsea Academy next year. I highly recommend this wonderful school if you are looking for a warm and caring environment for your child where they will have the opportunity to flourish as well as establish long-lasting friendships

Great academic program and student-teacher ratio. The teachers are outstanding and clearly have the students best interest in mind. For those who love athletics, the sports program is second to none and the coaches are excellent. Our children love this school and their teachers.

Excellent school! My three oldest graduated from Chelsea and went on to attend UVA. Chelsea kept them strong in their Catholic faith and gave them a first-class education that allowed them to get into an awesome university.

Wonderful School, our daughter love it.

Great school for kids to grow in faith and virtues.

Chelsea Academy has a challenging academic
program. It's much more demanding and taxing than
public schools and most private schools. You will be
tested hard and given long nights of homework. It's
said by the teachers that homework shouldn't take
longer than half an hour per subject, but oftentimes it
goes much longer if you wish to reach the lowest
expectation. If you go here you will be pushed to your
breaking point many times over the course of the
year and if you do break then you are blamed for it
rather than the school for overworking the student.
An understanding teacher is hard to find.

The religious side of this catholic school is in depth
and hands on. There is usually Mass every week and
some catholic celebrations scattered throughout the
year. However, if you aren't a catholic, you will be
forced to take the catholic religion classes as well as
attend mass. It isn't inclusive to the non catholic.

The management and organization of the whole
school needs a lot of work. Oftentimes the teachers
aren't on the same page and it leads to confusion for
everyone. The headmaster has changed more than a
couple times in the past 5 years with doesn't give the
returning student any sense of security in their day to
day school life

In conclusion. If you are academically adept and can
handle the pressure of being your own teacher for
most classes, are prepared to take the bs the
teachers give you about the responsibility you have
that in reality should be theirs, are prepared for some
ridiculous punishments for being out of uniform, and
are also prepared to be steeped in knowledge of the
Catholic Church regardless of your personal religion,
