Your child's lifelong adventure in learning begins right here.

They will meet new friends, learn from dedicated educators, and build the foundation for a world-class education.

As you get to know us, you will discover that we are passionate about making education better for our students. Our personalized approach to educating our students inspires them to discover their full potential in an environment that celebrates their individual strengths and empowers a community of learners.

We are Happily Making Education Better by:
  • Ensuring a safe and healthy environment for students and staff.
  • Personalizing our students’ education by identifying and addressing each student’s unique academic, social, and emotional needs.
  • Teaching soft skills like character education, teamwork, and collaboration that will make our students attractive in the workforce.
  • Providing students with technology as a tool for personalized learning including Chromebooks for each student, robotics programs to teach literacy, math, science, and STEM.
  • Offering a well-rounded curriculum that includes physical education, music, and fine arts.
  • Giving students the flexibility of taking a variety of courses online through Online Catawba Virtual Academy starting in 5th Grade.
     

Accountability is Important

We strive for academic excellence, which is why we take the grade we receive on our NC School Report Card (an annual statewide measure of school performance) seriously. In addition, we submit our School Improvement Plan for review and approval as required by state regulations, and our team revises that plan’s goals and strategies regularly.
