    "After attending another Christian school in the Annapolis area for 9 years we transferred all of our children to Rockbridge. The academics are challenging- it's amazing what excellent teachers, a classical curriculum, and hardworking students can accomplish. The athletic program and the extracurriculars (like orchestra, debate, and choir) reflect the school's desire to serve God through its best efforts. The most important and appealing thing about this school is that it is truly Christ centered. Not only is every class taught from a Christian worldview, but the people who make up this school strive to follow and honor God-and it shows. My daughter who transferred into the grammar program, her teacher and I had a conference recently to talk about her transition. Instead of focusing on grades, the teacher addressed my daughter's heart- asking her to think and pray about whether she is doing her best for God. (She also gave her practical study hints to help as well.) Choosing a school is about prioritizing your values. For us, the Christian community and strong academics are the most important and we're thrilled to have found both here."

    "I respectfully differ in opinon with the last comments in regard to Rockbridge not considering learning differences and teachers catering to only the gifted learner. On the contrary, not only was the school founded by a family whose son had a dissability, but there are quite a few students at Rockbridge today with learning differences, mine included. You wouldn't know it perhaps because they are not singled out; there is not a resourse room they go to, which is really, really wonderful. There have been a number of one-on one aides in the school's history, but more impressive is the daily Christ like support that the school provides students of all abilities, including math lab, peer tutoring, and flexibiity in the ciruculum to meet indvidual needs. For example, a student may need to use a computer in class to help with expressive language; that is going on right now at Rockbridge. In regard to being too strenuous, it all really boils down to work, and yes, it is hard some of the time, but I can assure you that it is not the grade that is praised around Rockbrige, it is the effort of a job well done, and that is the real lesson I wish to impart on my family."

    "Rockbridge Academy strives to educate its students via a unique, time-proven method, The Trivium, from a staunchly Christian worldview. Our graduates have been successful in many pursuits, but the real profit from their time here is in the strength of character they convey in humility to their communities. Come visit and see for yourself!"

    "The latest review is interesting and I'm glad she posted a different perspective. My son applied to enter the 9th grade at Rockbridge. He had just finished 8th grade in a TAG magnet school taking honors courses and achieved a cumulative gpa of 3.6. The only real difficulty for him is that he's on the autism spectrum and has some learning differences. After he took the admissions test at Rockbridge, we were told that he would have to retake 8th grade in order to enter. Wanting desperately for him to be in a strong Christian environment we approached our son with the question. He agreed to repeat 8th grade in order to attend Rockbridge. Then they reqired him to take the entrance exam for entering 8th. After this, they informed us that he would not be accepted into the school because there was too much remediation required. All of this based on a simple test which we were not given the opportunity to review. There was no consideration given to his learning disability and that depending on the test, it doesn't reveal his true abilities. At his old school, he had lots of academic support. I don't think you'll find this at Rockbridge."

    "Rockbridge Academy is a good school if your child is a naturally academically gifted child. The school celebrates the gifted child and sets them above the average learner. Students who do not excel academically often find they fall behind and are in danger of being held back in any grade. The school teaches to only one type of learner and no accommodations are made for students who need extra help in any subject . A majority of the teachers are parents who are only trained by the school to teach and the bonus to them is free or reduced tuition for their children. The curriculum in Bible is WONDERFUL, but the math and science fall behind public schools. Carefully consider if your child can handle the pressures this school puts on them. Once in third grade, homework can take hours to complete and by 6th grade 3-4 hours of homework in not uncommon allowing little time for outside interests. Know if your child's self-esteem can handle this type of pressure. Rockbridge does not prepare your child for living in a sinful world; it shelters them from it while there. God calls us to be salt and light, sadly your child's light will only shine if they are gifted or a staff student."
