Year Round – Admission Inquiry

The first step is to notify the Admissions Office of your interest in Chesapeake Academy. You may access information about Chesapeake via the website or by calling the Academy directly.

Applications should be submitted during the fall of the year preceding the student’s anticipated enrollment, and are accepted on a rolling-admission basis.
