The school division hosts a citywide event every fall to showcase the high school academies and advanced academic programs. This year’s Navigating the Journey, will be held on Thursday, October 17 at the Virginia Beach Convention Center. At the event, students and their families have the opportunity to visit information tables to speak with representatives from all eight high school programs as well as Green Run Collegiate, the Advanced Technology Center and the Technical and Career Education Center.
In addition, each Academy and Advanced Academic program hosts an event for prospective students and their parents/guardians at the school location. These information nights provide detailed information about the program and opportunities available at the school. For more information about a program's event, please contact the school.
