West Ghent School is a private, traditional preschool, kindergarten and first grade located in St. Andrew’s Church, on Princess Anne Road in Norfolk, Virginia.

The school is staffed by dedicated, qualified and experienced teachers to provide developmentally appropriate activities and opportunities for preschoolers and school age children up to age 7 years. We consider teachers as important role models and strive to “teach” values, respect and living cooperatively by setting good examples.

We use developmentally appropriate activities that encourage problem solving, independence, self-confidence and a positive self-image in each child. We provide a balance between free and planned activities. The children are encouraged to play alone as well as in groups.

We encourage an open parent-school relationship, which provides a sense of consistency and security for each child.

West Ghent School is a Licensed Preschool in the Commonwealth of Virginia. We are licensed every year by the Virginia Department of Education by unannouced visits.
