Welcome to RSA!
Renaissance School of the Arts is an inclusive co-operative community for homeschooling families, and others with flexible weekday schedules.
We have been offering social activities and secular classes in the Suffolk/ Isle of Wight, VA area since 2004.
Back-to-School Open House
August 26 & 28
Visitors Welcome 11am - 2pm
RSA believes that artistic endeavors foster growth and success in all aspects of learning.
Our inclusive community celebrates self-expression and enables students to discover and develop their own unique potential.
For the 2025-26 School Year, RSA will be offering a wide variety of in-person classes for ages 3 years through adult, and a few online classes. Each class has a separate Class Fee due each month directly to the instructor. Some classes also have additional Supply Fees.
2025-26 Class Schedules and Monthly Fees are posted in the Tuesday and Thursday Classes tabs.
We're so excited to be preparing for RSA's 22nd year, and offering a great variety of classes, including new classes from favorite instructors, popular classes returning, and new classes by amazing new instructors!
Class spaces are limited, enrollment is first-come-first-served and getting a spot in a specific class is not guaranteed.
We're looking forward to another fun year of learning all kinds of interesting things together, plus RSA's other community activities like Spirit days, Yearbook photos, performances and more!
2025-26 Classes will run Sept - April

Everyone is welcome here. Renaissance School of the Arts is a safe, inclusive community where every member is respected and valued.
Your LGBTQIA+ kids are welcome here.
Your neurodivergent kids are welcome here.
Your faith, your values, your culture—you—are welcome here.
We believe our differences make us stronger. We learn from each other, support one another, and strive to create an environment where every child and adult can thrive. If you’re on board with that, please apply. We’d love to have you!

Thank you for taking the time to become familiar with these prior to applying. If any questions or concerns arise as you evaluate our policies, please reach out to [email protected] before applying.
Step 3: It’s time to fill out your application!
Once submitted, the Executive Team will review your application. We do our best to process applications quickly, but do ask for patience as our administration is all volunteer! If you have not received a response within ten days of submission, please reach out. There is no fee to submit an application, but you will be asked to pay the Family Registration Fee as outlined in Step 4 once your application has been processed.
Step 4: Submit your Family Registration Fee.
Once your application is processed, we'll send you emails explaining how to pay your annual Family Registration Fee, set up your member account, get connected with fellow RSAers, and enroll in classes.
Note: The Family Registration Fee is non-refundable. If you have questions regarding RSA which may affect your decision to register, please contact us at [email protected] prior to paying the Family Registration Fee.
