Discover Alamance

A welcoming school community where families, staff, and students work together to help every child feel supported and successful. We offer a strong academic program in a caring environment where students are encouraged to learn, grow, and reach their full potential.

Experience Why Families Choose Us

What makes us special is our strong sense of community. Our families, teachers, staff, and students truly see themselves as part of one school family, and our active PTO helps strengthen those connections

Student Supports

We provide tiered academic and behavioral supports designed to meet students where they are and help them make meaningful progress. Students have access to targeted intervention, enrichment and extension opportunities, specialized instructional support, and social-emotional support. Our staff works collaboratively to monitor student progress and provide additional support and enrichment opportunities when students need it while maintaining high expectations for every learner.

Points of Pride

  • Apple Distinguished School – We are proud to be recognized as an Apple Distinguished School for our commitment to innovation, technology, and creating engaging learning experiences for students. We are currently 1 out of 22 schools in North Carolina with this distinction. These limited selected schools join a worldwide network that shares success stories, collaborates with peers, and engages with Apple education experts.

  • Strong Family and Community Partnerships – We are a tight-knit community of families and staff supported by an active and dedicated PTO.

  • Academic Excellence – We provide a rigorous, standards-aligned curriculum designed to challenge students and prepare them for future success.

  • A Culture of Learning – Alamance is a place where teachers are passionate about teaching and students are excited to learn.

  • Whole-Child Support – We combine high academic expectations with intentional supports and opportunities that help every student succeed.

Academics

We provides a rigorous academic curriculum aligned to North Carolina standards, with intentional opportunities for students to deepen their learning. Students receive tiered academic supports based on their individual needs, while students ready for additional challenges benefit from curriculum extensions and enrichment provided by our full-time Academically/Intellectually Gifted (AIG) teacher. Our designation as an Apple Distinguished School also provides students with opportunities to use technology in innovative and meaningful ways to enhance learning.

Clubs and Programs

Students are able to engage in clubs such as student council, wolf patrol, chorus, and battle of the books. Students also have the opportunity to participate in a variety of after-school clubs and enrichment activities offered by our dedicated staff and PTO during the fall and spring. These experiences allow students to explore their interests, develop new skills, build friendships, and strengthen their connection to the Alamance community. After-school care is also available through ACES for families who need extended care.
