Can my child take lessons if we are not enrolled in PreK -10th school? Yes! Everyone form the community can take lessons and classes with us. Public, private and homeschool students are always welcome to attend Spanish, ballet, piano, art and the many other classes offered every afternoon.
Can adults enroll in private music lessons? Yes! Call us today! Let’s set up your $10 trial lesson.
How do I register as a homeschooler? It’s easy and we will walk you through the process. Send a letter to the superintendent of public schools for Virginia Beach (or your locality) stating your name, child’s name, subjects you will be teaching and provide a picture of your high school diploma, college degree or teaching license. Voila! That’s it!
Do you do testing? How do I know if my child is learning everything they should? The curriculum we use is advanced and highly academic with built in tests, quizzes and evaluations. Our teachers and parents stay in close communication through the Class Dojo app. You will be able to see the great strides your child makes.
What is the school year? Preschool for the Arts is offered year ‘round. Homeschool Unlimited is September - May. We also offer Summer Fun School for grades K & up to help children advance over the summer. This is great for a child who is a little behind their peers or needs a preview of things to come. It’s a great time to gain some educational ground!

How do I know if my child is ready for preschool? By three years of age, the average child has developed the emotional maturity and needs to branch out, make friends and learn how to develop relationships in a safe environment. Children flourish when given the opportunity to participate in creative, fun, interactive and educational activities with their young peers. Often times, children need to be eased into this new setting. That’s why we offer a free trial day for prospective students. Let’s try out a day and see how it goes!
Do you teach private music lessons to adults? Yes! We absolutely love to teach adults!
What days of the week do you offer music lessons? Each member of our professional teaching staff maintains their own studio days and hours. Upon receiving your name, area of interest and a little information about your student, we will have our teachers reach out to you, introduce themselves and let you know their available days and times for a $10 introductory trial lesson. Check us out and see what you think! We will connect you with several teachers who will offer you their available days and times. You can make your appointment with and payment directly to your teacher.
Who can attend your afternoon enrichment classes? We welcome everyone from the community to enroll up for any class they desire! You do not have to have your child enrolled in preschool or Homeschool Unlimited to attend any extracurricular class we offer.
Can my child join anytime? Absolutely! If we have a spot available, your child can join any class, lesson or program we have available.
Is it hard to reenter public or private school if we’ve been homeschooling? Generally, no. We are constantly monitoring each child’s progress through their daily work as well as evaluations, tests, and quizzes. More often than not we hear that students who re-enter public and school after being in our program are considerably ahead of their peers.
How long has the Virginia Beach School of the Arts been in business? We have been serving the community since 1998.
