Overview
St Pius X Catholic School is a private school in the city of Norfolk serving the families of Southside Hampton Roads and educating children from Pre-K3 through 8th Grade.
We are part of the School System of the Catholic Diocese of Richmond.
St. Pius X School is a Christ-centered community rooted in the traditions of the Catholic faith.
A strong Catholic identity invites all to call, to teach and to challenge the community to experience Christ through life-long relationships, instruction, service and prayer. St. Pius X School offers a comprehensive, integrated curriculum and strives for the formation of the whole person.
Empowered by a strong educational partnership between the school and parish community, St. Pius X School motivates and nurtures the learner. This learning environment is built on Gospel values and the charism of the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
The lay and religious staff prepares the community for the challenges of a constantly changing society and a Church called to grow in wisdom and grace.
Established in 1952, Norfolk Christian Schools is a nondenominational, fully accredited Christian day school offering Pre-K3 through Grade 12 programs.
A solid college-preparatory curriculum is taught from a Biblical worldview by teachers who are dedicated to each child's success.
Our mission is to equip students spiritually, intellectually and physically to love God and serve Him as Christ's Ambassadors in the world.
