We create opportunities for discovery and reflection by engaging the minds, hands, and hearts of our students.

MISSION

  • We are proud to be a small school where dynamic interactions between our teachers and students flourish into strong mentor-mentee relationships.

    We offer a challenging and structured curriculum through which students not only learn, but love to learn.

    Our teachers excel at sharing their expertise with enthusiasm.

  • We bridge academic understanding with practical hands-on experience so that students gain knowledge as well as know-how.

    We inspire students through experiences, where what they study comes to life and what they know can impact the world around them.

    With many student-initiated and student-run programs, our students have a hand in shaping the culture of the school.

  • We believe excellence can take many forms and the first step toward excellence is discovering your passion.

    We encourage our students to shine as concerned leaders and devoted team players through civic-minded programs built on cornerstones of Honor and Service.

    With vibrant diversity, we come together in genuine fellowship. Our culture of respect empowers our students to become intelligent, brave, and just citizens.

“Mind, Hands, Heart is not a tagline - we live it every day - it’s real - it’s woven into the fabric of the Miller experience. Hands-on learning provides opportunities for students to really connect and engage with the lesson. It’s often difficult to understand something if you do not experience it.”
— Head of School, Michael Drude.

  • 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.
