“My family attended and graduated from Tidewater Academy. My daughter (c/o 2034) currently attends. I love the small-town family feeling that the school provides while still maintaining top notch educational opportunities. Communication with teachers and staff is always efficient and you can feel the love they have for the children they teach.”
