During this difficult time, we continue to fill your child's day with love, laughter, and bilingual education. Hear what parents have to say:. During this difficult time, Knox's teachers have been nothing short of absolutely amazing! They ask about Knox all the time! From Ms. Monifah asking about his counting to Ms. Sonia reminding us to dance with Knox and that he likes certain Spanish songs.
Knox's teachers bring him great joy and I know he misses them SO much! We can't wait to return to work with the peace of mind that our sons life is enriched with love, laughter, and bilingual education. When this all started he would say "Agua" for water and could count to 13! Now he says "water" and counts "1, mommy, baby".

Founded in 1992, the Courthouse Academy is still owned and operated by the founder Kym Pomares. Kym had a vision that she has transferred to thousands of students over the years and has been proven time and time again: bilingualism is a significant life advantage. Kym did not grow up in a bilingual household.
We provide a Spanish Immersion program which "Prepares English Speaking Students for Life Long Advantage." Your child's safety is of paramount important, and we are highly rated with the Virginia Beach Police Department. We continuously update security training, including training by Secured Education Consultants (SEC).
Various studies suggest that bilingual speakers develop greater mental flexibility, resulting in an advanced ability to process conflicting information and to identify the most important information. This skill also enhances your child's attentiveness and short-term memory. Children who receive a bilingual education typically perform better and score higher on standardized college entrance exams.
A team-teaching environment encourages sharing and support, and your input, ideas, and contributions are priceless. Let's not just work together-Let's laugh, cry, and grow together! Be paid for your experience, education, and commitment to childcare with competitive pay rates. Be compensated for the value you add to our team!
Your child's education is one of your biggest priorities, and you want to be sure they're getting the very best start. There are several options available to help you offset the cost of tuition, and we've made it easy to learn about them. The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 enhanced the benefits of families with children and child care specifically.

Well, where could I start?! This is a top notch school with excellent staff and leadership. Their passion and dedication to the students go above and beyond words. In spite of the challenges that this year has brought for many, Courthouse Academy has amazingly managed to keep its doors open and the students safe. I would not imagine a better place for my kids to go! As a Hispanic immigrant, I wanted my kids to be bilingual as their parents, and Courthouse has done a much better job of what we could do at home. If you want your children to experience a loving, yet academically challenging, environment

Had I know about Courthouse Academy years ago I would have enrolled my son in this school from 1st grade. Courthouse Academy has been a game changer and my son is doing so much better academically. The communication between the staff and parents is mind blowing. I'm sad that he will only get to experience 1 year but at the same time we are grateful for the experience.

We love Courthouse! I like my son’s teachers. They are very good about communicating with me and keeping me updated on things. It is a great school with small class sizes. My son has been going there for 3 years now. Maria and Julie are great and very accommodating. My son has asthma and they are always sure to be on the look out for his health and I really appreciate that. I feel that they truly do care about my son and his well being.

Courthouse Academy has been wonderful for our children! Both of our kiddos attended Courthouse for the preschool years and then we moved on to public schools when they were old enough. When Covid hit and the schools went virtual, Courthouse Academy welcomed us back with open arms and treated our children as if they had never left. My son and daughter are getting a good education from caring people. We are very happy we discovered Courthouse Academy!

Our son is 5 months old and has been attending Courthouse Academy since he was 11 weeks old. We have loved taking him somewhere where we can visually see that he loves his school and the staff. As soon as we walk him in, he is smiling looking for his favorite teachers to greet him because they welcome him as if he is their own child. With the Corona Virus making everything so scary for new parents right now, Courthouse Academy has really helped us feel comforted knowing our son is in a happy and safe environment. He also started to meet many developmental milestones starting as soon as he began

I Love courthouse Academy! My oldest daughter is nine and used to attend Courthouse Academy and I loved it so much that I chose to enroll my second daughter. The teachers and office staff are so helpful and always welcoming. I also love receiving pictures of field trips and daily activities my daughter is doing throughout her day. I also love the fact there is a Spanish teacher in the classroom as well.

My daughter has been attending Courthouse Academy since she was 18 months and we love it! The teachers are amazing and all of the front desk staff are great! She’s learning Spanish and retaining it all; and teaching me along the way! It’s an intimate setting and they all know each and every child that walks through the door by name. I couldn’t ask for a better school for my daughter to attend!

My son just started going to Courthouse Academy in September, it has been a great experience for him as well as for me! The teachers in the toddler room do so many wonderful activities to work on fine motor skills and such fun art projects. My son really enjoys the weekly music time with the instructor and I enjoy getting the pictures of him throughout the day. I am so glad my son is attending Courthouse Academy and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a fun and educational experience for their child.

My son has been going to Courthouse since last summer and we LOVE it! All of the teachers and staff were wonderful with the transition to a new school and went out of their ways to make sure my son felt comfortable with his new surroundings. He looks forward to going to school everyday and is excited to tell me about his day when I pick him up. Ms Jenn (his teacher) is the most amazing teacher and loves on all the kids as if they were hers) we love her!! Thanks courthouse! Y’all are amazing!
