The City of Virginia Beach, located on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean and the Chesapeake Bay, frequently makes the "best places" lists in a number of publications. Articles frequently cite its high performing schools, low crime rate and mild climate as reasons why the area is considered such a desirable place to live. Known as a vacation destination because of its 22 miles of public beaches, Virginia Beach is also a great place to live, work and play.

The York County School Division is an award-winning school system serving more than 13,000 students in the heart of the Virginia's historic triangle, situated between Virginia Beach and Richmond.
