School Notes
Located in Martinsville, VA, Carlisle School sets the standard
in our region for excellence in education. We provide a nurturing
yet challenging learning environment where children will grow
academically and socially. Every child can learn to lead. And our
program is designed to help each of our students find a fitting
path to leadership, excellence, and success.
Our small class sizes give teachers the ability to focus on
each individual student. The uniqueness of each student is
recognized and fostered, helping to grow their self-esteem so they
can reach their true potential in the classroom, stage, or athletic
arena.
We strive to develop critical thinking and reasoning to prepare
our students for their college years and beyond. From preschool to
their senior year, we guide their curiosity and fuel their desire
to learn through discovery- and project-based learning. Textbooks
are not our only resource. Through technology-enhanced lessons,
research papers, interdisciplinary projects, and immersive studies,
our students are challenged to apply their knowledge in real-life
scenarios.
At Carlisle School, students not only excel in the classroom
but in all areas of development, from arts and athletics to
civic-mindedness and leadership. Starting in the Lower School,
students take part in specialty classes on music, computer, dance,
science, and Spanish. As the students progress through the grades,
they are given more varied choices in their extracurricular
options, allowing them to explore their interests and develop a
deeper understanding of a particular subject.
In addition to physical education classes that begin in
preschool, team sports are offered on both junior varsity and
varsity levels. Our athletics program is not
exclusive. No previous experience or try-outs are necessary, giving
students the freedom to find their niche. The same applies to the
arts at Carlisle School. No student will be turned away from
participating in a play, the band or choir. All doors are open
to our students, allowing them to thrive.
Further, we offer an International Boarding
Program for a sizable group of international students who live
in school facilities or with host families. This cultural variety
adds to the richness of the academic experience for all
students.
Carlisle School graduates go on to distinguish themselves
at the very finest colleges and universities. The skills and
traits they develop while attending our school serve them well as
they seek opportunities to contribute to their communities as
adults.

family by contacting our Admissions Office at (276)

you to this truly remarkable institution.

Carlisle School truly shaped me into the individual I am today. Small class sizes allowed me to connect with my peers and better understanding the instruction being delivered in class. However, in addition to that, it created long lasting bonds between my peers and myself. While we may not speak to each other daily, we still keep in touch with one another. The faculty members there are phenomenal and truly go the extra mile to ensure your success inside the classroom and outside.

Carlisle provides many opportunities to be involved in clubs, sports, arts as well as promotes an environment to excel in the classroom. In addition to academics, they also provide options for exciting cultural experiences and trips. Teachers really encourage students to progress and work hard, which greatly benefited me in college.

Most adults find traveling more complicated and challenging that it was pre-pandemic. We offer some suggestions for safe teen travel in these uncertain times.
One of the basic differences between private and public schools is the fact that most public school teachers belong to a union. Should teachers be unionized?
The average private school tuition in Virginia is $12,803 for elementary schools and $16,566 for high schools (read more about average private school tuition across the country).
