INTRODUCTION
Nansemond-Suffolk Academy was founded in 1966 and for thirty-eight years has continued to fulfill its objective of educating young people. The Academy's programs place a strong emphasis on intellectual, social, and physical growth so that its graduates will take active and fulfilling roles in society.
No society can function without rules and no one can get along well in a society without knowing the rules. In a school such as NSA, the administration and faculty, drawing on decades of experience, have defined the rules set down here. It is through these rules that NSA can provide an educational climate in which students can achieve their best.

STATEMENT OF MISSION
We believe the goal of education is to cultivate well-informed, responsible, and compassionate persons who think and act constructively in a complex international environment. The Academy provides an educational environment that is academically rigorous and driven by intellectual curiosity; that cultivates among its members social awareness and the virtues of responsibility, respect, compassion, and honor; that fosters a lifetime commitment to learning and service; and that instills a sense of pride in individual and group accomplishment. The ultimate goal is for each student to reach his or her potential: academically, physically, emotionally, socially, morally, and creatively.

Rotating Schedule
The rotation continues throughout the year following a fourteen day pattern.
