Campus The school is physically located at Huntington Ingalls Industries' Newport News Shipbuilding. Some of the upper-level academic courses are taken at Thomas Nelson Community College and Tidewater Community College. In December 2013, Newport News Shipbuilding officially opened up the new Apprentice School, located on Washington Avenue. The new facility tripled the available instructional space to include eight computer labs, two video teleconferencing classrooms, a physics lab, and a 600-seat gymnasium. Athletics The Apprentice School fields seven athletic teams including baseball, men's and women's basketball, football, men's golf, and men's and women's wrestling. Because it does not grant degrees, it is not affiliated with the NCAA or NAIA. The school competes as a member of the United States Collegiate Athletic Association (USCAA). The Apprentice School also holds athletic affiliation in the National Collegiate Wrestling Association (NCWA). Apprentice's football team was a member of the Atlantic Central Football Conference. Since the dissolution of the conference following the 2010 season, The Apprentice School has been playing football as an unaffiliated independent team. In 2018, The Apprentice School football team joined NCFA's Mid Atlantic Conference, which is broken into East and West Division. The Apprentice School won the 2018 NCFA National Championship with a 56–14 win over Oakland University in Wheeling WV, on the campus of West Liberty University. The football program returned to an independent USCAA varsity schedule for the 2019 season.
