Discover the Carlisle Difference

As one of Virginia’s leading independent schools, Carlisle School transforms curious minds into great leaders. With approximately 275 students, the school blends the intimacy of a safe and positive family atmosphere with exceptional academic and cultural opportunities usually found only at larger schools. Our students are challenged to think critically, express themselves confidently, and embrace new experiences both inside and outside the classroom. From rigorous academics to arts, athletics, and community engagement, Carlisle provides a well-rounded education that prepares students for success in college and beyond.

In the Admissions Office, our goal is to ensure that your family gets to know our school. We invite you to tour our campus, meet our talented faculty and staff, experience our classrooms, and explore the opportunities for the arts and athletics so that you may understand what we are achieving at Carlisle School. 

We are hopeful that your experiences will lead you to join the Carlisle School family. Come share the opportunity expressed in our motto: CHARACTER. INTELLECT. LEADERSHIP.
