We are pleased to invite new and current families of students in rising grades 6–12 to join us for Norfolk Collegiate’s Family Preview Night on Wednesday, Jan. 14, 2026, from 5:30–7 p.m. This evening is designed to help families gain a deeper understanding of our middle and upper school academic programs, student life and the opportunities ahead for the 2026–27 school year. Students are welcome to attend with their families if they like. 

 

Throughout the evening, families will hear from school leadership, faculty and current students about what makes Norfolk Collegiate a distinctive learning community. We will share an overview of our academic program for grades 6–12, including curriculum pathways, innovation initiatives, AP Capstone and college counseling. You will also learn about next steps for re-enrollment and admissions.

 

Families will break into middle and upper school experiences tailored to their student’s rising grade level. Middle school families will learn more about the academic program and student life before enjoying a guided tour with Oak Ambassadors. Upper school families will begin with a student-led tour, followed by an overview of academics and co-curricular life. Student speakers will share personal reflections on experiences that have made them proud to be an Oak, highlighting athletics, performing arts, clubs, academics and other signature programs.

 

Join us for a mingle and inspiration night as we talk all things annual auction in the Lower School Spainhour Family Library (5429 Tidewater Drive, Norfolk).

This year's theme is "Through the Looking Glass," and we would love for you to be part of our team! Whether you're a first-time participant, just want to hear about the auction or you're a seasoned pro, all are welcome as we look for inspiration for this year's auction during our happy hour!
