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. 

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 2024-25 School Year, RSA is 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.

Tuesday and Thursday Class Schedules for 2024-25 are available in the tabs. 

We're so excited to be starting RSA's 21st year, and offering this 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 excited for 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!

2024-25 Classes will run Sept 10 - April 24.

Thanksgiving Break: Nov 25-29

Winter Break: Dec 6 - Jan 6

Spring Break: March 3-7

  RSA classes run September through April. Each class meets one day per week, either Tuesday or Thursday. All classes meet in-person in North Suffolk, VA. Some classes are also available online live, these are marked Hybrid {H}. Each class has a separate fee which is paid monthly directly to the instructor.
