Teaching and Learning

Teaching and learning are at the heart of what we do at Chesapeake College. It is our priority to ensure that we offer the highest quality instruction, so students can reach their educational goals. Our accomplishments in teaching and learning prove that we are helping students meet those goals whether they are part of our honors program, working to attain their GED, or are seeking workforce training opportunities. And, they highlight the excellence of our faculty in supporting students.

Congrats to Irene Moore, ABE Grad and Rebecca Jones, Honors Student!

Congratulations to Irene Moore of Kent County for earning her high school diploma through our ABE program!
