Throughout April, the Month of the Military Child, Virginia Beach City Public Schools (VBCPS) student artwork will be featured at Lynnhaven Mall. Now in its 11th year, "The Art of Being a Military Child" showcases students' artistic interpretations of what it means to be a military dependent, including deployments, transitions, patriotism, family and school. It is the culmination of a contest open to all VBCPS students to which more than 700 art entries were submitted.
Academics
Academics are at the core of Virginia Beach City Public Schools, with a goal of having each student achieve their full academic potential by the time they graduate. Students are challenged to learn to communicate in foreign languages; explore and value the fine and practical arts; and understand the interrelationships of the countries and cultures of the world.

From early childhood through high school, VBCPS provides challenging instruction in language arts, math, science, and social studies; including advanced academic programs, honors classes in high school, and enrichment programs. Fine and performing arts, physical education, career and technical education, and world languages are integral parts of each child's education, from elementary through high school.
