​Philosophy & Objectives
North Cross School endeavors to be among the finest independent schools in the Commonwealth of Virginia. In pursuit of that goal, we will:
  • Compose a diverse student body, one that is able to make full use of the school’s academic, athletic, and artistic offerings;
  • Assemble—from across the region, the nation, and internationally—a talented, committed, well-compensated faculty, whose members are excellent in their respective subject areas and eager to be involved in the lives of their students beyond the classroom;
  • Develop a Board of Trustees, together with a governance structure, that embraces its stewardship role, is generous in providing its diverse resources to the school’s benefit, and is representative—in composition and experience—of the larger NCS community;
  • Offer a comprehensive, rigorous academic program, enhanced and complemented through broad offerings in the fine and performing arts, interscholastic athletics, and community service; and,
  • Ensure its facilities and financial resources fully support the goals of the program and the individuals responsible for it.
