Cape Henry Collegiate

Cape Henry Collegiate in Virginia Beach serves over 1,000 students across pre-school through high school. As a nonsectarian day school, it enrolls a large, diverse community in southeastern Virginia. The school commits to knowing each student, challenging them academically, and developing independent thinkers prepared for global citizenship.

Teaching at Cape Henry differs fundamentally from boarding school work. Faculty teach full days and then leave campus—no dorm duty, no evening supervision, no on-site housing requirement. This structure appeals to educators who want deep classroom engagement without residential obligations. The school's language programs span French, German, Latin, Spanish, and English as an Alternative Language, creating consistent hiring demand for credentialed teachers in these fields.

Cape Henry's financial strength directly supports staff retention and resources. Net assets exceed $43 million, and fundraising has grown annually. That stability translates to competitive salaries, professional development funding, and well-maintained facilities. For a day school of this size, substantial reserves mean the school can hire experienced educators and offer benefits packages that smaller independent schools cannot match.

Cape Henry Collegiate hires year-round for teaching positions across all grade levels, administrative roles, and support staff. Most openings appear before the academic year, though staffing needs emerge throughout the calendar. The school prioritizes diversity and inclusion in recruitment.

For educators seeking a day school faculty role in Virginia with solid institutional resources, mission-driven work, and a diverse student body, Cape Henry Collegiate merits serious consideration.
