Located between the waters of the historic Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, we are a community rich in heritage, respecting life sustained by water and land (fishing, aquaculture and agriculture) while embracing the future (home to Virginia's Space Port). We value learners, community, challenge, and growth. Our mission is to provide a safe, engaging, student-centered environment where all learners grow and are prepared for further education, citizenship, and work. From the prolific waters of the Chesapeake Bay to the pristine shores of Virginia's Barrier Islands, we provide an excellent education in one of the most unique places in the world. Accomack County Public Schools serve approximately 5,000 students in 11 schools. We have three island schools, including an elementary and middle/high school on Chincoteague Island, as well as the only K-12 combined school in Virginia, located on Tangier Island in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay. Our mainland schools include four elementary schools, two middle schools, and two comprehensive high schools, each with on-site career and technical centers (CTE). The high schools use a 4x4 block schedule and offer a variety of college level courses.
