Located in Axton, VA, Carlisle School sets the standard in our region for excellence in education. We provide a challenging curriculum in a nurturing learning environment where children will grow academically and socially. Our small class sizes give teachers the ability to focus on individual students. Each student’s uniqueness 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 have been a part of the Carlisle family since 2013. The boys and I visited for a tour of the school that year, and they have been there ever since. The boys were in Pre-K3 then and are currently 7th graders. Our love for the school has continued to grow every year. The curriculum supersedes any other in the area and is phenomenal. Faculty and staff are hands-on, readily available, and phenomenal. Carlisle School is just simply phenomenal. If you are interested in a stellar education, along with a caring environment, then Carlisle is the place for you and your family 💛💙

I’m so thankful and appreciative of how this school goes beyond the call of duty for its students. If you want small classes, caring teachers, and a great education, Carlisle School is the place.”

Transferring to Carlisle has been the best decision we’ve made for our son. I appreciate the way he has been welcomed into the Carlisle family. He loves the smaller classes and is thriving in this new environment. He is excited to go to school each day, and we love to see how he is being challenged in the classroom. We also appreciate the focus Carlisle places on the holistic development of the student that goes beyond the classroom.

We support Carlisle because this is the type of educational environment that fosters our son’s love of learning. Carlisle is a very special place where we feel safe and secure knowing that the teachers love and care for our child the way we do. It has enhanced our son’s life in so many ways, and we wouldn’t have him anywhere else.
