OUR PHILOSOPHY
We believe education begins with community. Through meaningful relationships and experiences, Miller School of Albemarle students have the opportunity to discover and reflect on their authentic selves. Students are known and valued for who they are and their interests. This vibrant diversity brings our community together as we explore and learn alongside one another. Our curricula engage and challenge students to employ their minds, hands, and hearts in all facets of their education, giving them the tools to become independent thinkers and thoughtful problem solvers while preparing them for a complex world. Our students are empowered to live as resourceful, resilient, and compassionate people who innovate, lead, and inspire.
