History

Founded in 1924 by Helena Everett as the Everett School, Cape Henry Collegiate expanded rapidly in the 1960s as Virginia Beach became a large suburban beach city. In 1971, Arthur and Miriam Peregoff purchased the original Everett School and changed its name to Cape Henry Collegiate School with a vision to create "an academically-based private school."[1]

Tuition (2019-2020 school year) ranges from $12,450 in Pre-Kindergarten to $20,770 in grades 9–12. Private School | Cape Henry Collegiate in Hampton Roads VA

Academics

CHC focuses on STEM subjects. CHC erected a state-of-the-art science center in 2007 to support STEM education.[2] The school subsequently made the local news when the seismograph in the school's science center detected earthquakes in Martinique and elsewhere. Cape Henry is known for its global education program.[3] Students are afforded the opportunity to graduate with a distinction as a global scholar and participate in cultural, language, and academic immersion programs domestically and abroad.[4] Past trips have included collaborations in countries including but not limited to Panama, South Africa, Spain, Morocco, Romania, Turkey, and Israel.[5]

Athletics

Cape Henry offers 22 Varsity sports. Most recently the boys soccer team and girls field hockey teams won back-to-back state championships.[6][7] Since 2004, State Championships have been earned in Baseball (2010,2012), Boys Basketball (2012, 2015), Boys Lacrosse (2004), Boys Soccer (2017, 2018), Boys Tennis (2012, 2013), Girls Basketball (2011, 2012), Field Hockey (2005, 2010, 2011, 2017, 2018) Girls Lacrosse (2007, 2012), Girls Tennis (2008, 2011, 2013, 2014) and Girls Volleyball (2008, 2009, 2010, 2011).

gollark: `ed`, the standard editor.
gollark: GTech™, of course, perfectly simulates the oracle in order to predict what *it* will do, then does the optimal thing for that.
gollark: There are two boxes in front of you, A and B. B has 10,000 dollars in it, and A contains either 1,000,000 or 0 dollars.You may choose to take either only box A, or take both boxes.A perfect oracle has predicted your choice beforehand, and filled box A with the money if and only if it was predicted that you would take only box A.
gollark: (My model for this is that if I find myself choosing between the boxes, I may be being simulated, so I can "change the past" ish)
gollark: You can't change the past, and given the boxes in front of you the two box option is strictly better.
