Step Into the Carlisle Community

At Carlisle, we celebrate our students’ successes both in and out of the classroom. Through a supportive environment and a wide range of opportunities, we nurture growth and achievement at every stage. Guided by our Portrait of a Graduate, we strive to develop young people of character, intellect, and leadership—preparing them to thrive in school, in their communities, and beyond.

Congratulations to Connor Boughton, Addison Lawrence, and Logan Williams on earning All-State honors, and to Head Coach P.C. Wells, who was named Coach of the Year for his outstanding leadership.

We enjoy watching all three of our boys grow and thrive at Carlisle School. Their teachers are caring and supportive of their individual needs. The close-knit community allows for a safe, family-like environment. We are so thankful for Carlisle!

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.

Mom to Kendrick and Karter

I’ve had the privilege of getting to know Carlisle school through two different perspectives, one as a faculty member and more recently as a parent. I have come to think less of it as a job and more as an intellectual opportunity. It has provided me with a great educational foundation that I want for my own children. In fact, we enrolled our daughter in the preschool program this year and it was a decision that has validated our feelings about the Carlisle Experience.

We have been very pleased with Carlisle’s methods of teaching. We are truly delighted with how our children are embraced, nurtured, and supported by the staff and teachers. Our children are excited to go to school and learn new things each day.
