StoneBridge School is a private Christian school located in Chesapeake, Virginia, United States. It provides education from preschool through 12th grade and incorporates a historical, biblical approach to learning.
History
[edit]The school was established in 1980 by a group of parents and educators interested in the Principle Approach®, an educational philosophy and methodology rooted in the historic American Christian education and which emphasizes the value of each individual and the importance of personal self-government under God,[1] and is a demonstration school for the Principle Approach.[2]
Campus and Programs
[edit]The school operates on a 12.5-acre campus that includes academic buildings, science labs, art rooms, athletic fields, and facilities for fine arts instruction. It is accredited by the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) and is a member of the Virginia Council for Private Education (VCPE).[3]
The curriculum includes classical education elements such as logic, rhetoric, and notebook-based learning. Instruction is designed to integrate biblical themes with academic content, and students complete a senior thesis project prior to graduation. Extracurricular offerings include athletics, such as basketball, soccer, volleyball, and track, as well as visual and performing arts programs. The school is cited in Practicing What the Doctor Preached, a study of evangelical education, as an example of a private religious institution selected by families seeking faith-based instruction. [4]
Accreditation and recognition
[edit]StoneBridge has received regional media attention. In 2010, The Virginian-Pilot published an article on student participation in a poetry program.[5] In 2020, the school was featured by WTKR News in coverage related to COVID-19 school closures.[6]
The school has been cited in academic literature on Christian education, including a doctoral dissertation examining the Principle Approach and a journal article identifying examples of biblical integration in curriculum.[7] It has also been profiled in community-oriented publications for its growth and development.[8] StoneBridge’s founding educators have been acknowledged by the Foundation for American Christian Education for their role in promoting the Principle Approach.[9] The school is listed in the National Center for Education Statistics database as a private K–12 institution in Chesapeake, Virginia.[10]
