Parent Testimonials

"Our son Eddie started at Chelsea Academy as a freshman. We have been delighted. The teachers are extremely talented individuals. We are impressed not just by their credentials and their competence, but also by their genuine commitment to reaching and challenging the unique potential of their individual students. We see this in daily feedback that tells us how much Eddie is motivated by his teachers, by the challenging curriculum, and by lively classroom discussions. He is able to participate in excellent extra-curricular activities and sports programs.

"It is so very comforting for us to have found in Chelsea, a solid Catholic school focused on both the academic and spiritual needs of our children. We look forward to sending our daughter Elizabeth to Chelsea Academy. We wanted a school that strives to initiate children into, and make them conversant with, the deep and rich intellectual tradition of the Church. We are confident that Chelsea fills that bill -- right in step with our intent to see that the development of our children is grounded in Catholic orthodoxy."
Dr. Edward and Mrs. Anne E. Smith, Winchester, VA

"Our son had been home schooled for six years with a variety of curricula so we weren't sure how he'd respond. He has truly blossomed. We couldn't be happier with his course of studies. From the study of insects (Fabre) to his study of Latin and French, from the Saxon math to the U.S. History course, we have been very pleased. When he walks in the door and sits down with his newest literature assignment to read, I know he is fully engaged and we are blessed.

"As parents of nine children who have attended private, parochial and public schools, as well as home schooling, Chelsea Academy has been our best experience in education by far. A major reason for this, we are sure, is the excellence of the faculty, who show real care and concern for the students inside and outside of class."
Dr. and Mrs. Timothy O'Donnell, Stephens City, VA

"Holly has managed to step right up to Chelsea's curriculum/ workload. That is a testimony not only to Holly's attitude and effort, but to the attitudes of the teachers at Chelsea, and the environment that the school fosters. It is not so much that Holly is attending a school, as it is that we have joined a family... To sum it up: we couldn't be happier with our investment in Holly's education at Chelsea Academy!"
Eric and Susan Anderson, Front Royal, VA

"The credentials and dedication of the Chelsea faculty are phenomenal; the students are happy and courteous coming from wonderful families; the sports program, house, and club activities are impressive; and the facilities, including the chapel, are beautiful. I wish I could've gone to a school like this!"
Wendy Lee, Rappahannock County, VA

"We were looking for a school that strives to initiate children in, and make them conversant with, the deep and rich intellectual tradition of the Church, while at the same time assisting parents in fostering their children's growth in undiluted Catholic orthodoxy. Chelsea Academy is that place. We moved to Front Royal from the Manassas area solely for this school and are happy now to be members of the Chelsea community."
Martin and Shari Schaffer, Front Royal, VA

"Our son Tyler always breezed though school and needed a more challenging environment. He is also very athletic and loves sports. Chelsea provides Tyler with the academic challenge he needs and a very admirable sports program while growing his spiritual life in the Catholic Faith."
Bobby and Terri Barnikel, Front Royal, VA

"Chelsea Academy is a most uncommon assemblage of inspiring educators. Most important to us is that all teachers and the headmaster are firmly rooted in and practicing his or her Catholic faith. Our sons and daughter have found the course work challenging, preparatory, and made interesting by the faculty. At Chelsea we have seen our children take positive steps in their intellectual, moral, and spiritual formation."
Scott and Carol Little, Rappahannock County, VA

"Charles has become accustomed to hard work and actually enjoys it! He is growing in self-confidence, and he is learning so much so quickly because the material is presented in a way that sparks his interest. Charles appreciates the respect of his teachers and peers and enjoys the challenges of striving for excellence. He is excited about learning and knows that each of his teachers cares about him personally. He knows his teachers will help him if he doesn't achieve his goals the first time and that there is no reason to lower his aspirations for success.

"As he grows in knowledge and understanding it has been so heartening to hear him engage in discussion with his adult siblings and impress them with his insights into things that really matter."
Mary-Margaret Price, Front Royal, VA
