The school is accredited through the Virginia Catholic Education Association, with approval from the State Board of Education, Commonwealth of Virginia.

Mission and Philosophy Statement

Committed to academic excellence and rooted in the traditions and ideals of our Catholic faith, the mission of Saint Ambrose Catholic School is to provide an environment in which each student will be enabled to reach his/her full academic and spiritual potential in an atmosphere that strongly encourages following the example and teachings of Christ.

As members of the Community of Saints, we at Saint Ambrose School believe that:

Christ is the reason for this school
The unseen, but ever-present
Teacher in its classes
The Model of its faculty
The Inspiration of its students

In partnership with our children's primary educators, their parents, our faculty will work daily, through example and teaching, to develop in our students the desire to grow in their religious knowledge and beliefs, as well as in their academic knowledge, and to apply these to their daily life situations and interactions.
