Find out what enrollment looks like for your child. Get Your Child's Enrollment Info It takes about 60 seconds. You've looked at other schools in Harrison County. You've compared schedules, test scores, and bus routes. But something kept nagging at you. Not whether the school could teach your child to read. Whether it could teach your child to think. To ask why. To sit with a hard question and not panic. To treat other people with decency because it's right, not because a teacher is watching. That's what classical education is supposed to do. And that's what this school was built for.

What the school day looks like

School hours run from 7:15 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Every student starts the day with a free breakfast. The academic program is classical in structure: content-rich, organized around building knowledge year over year, and designed to develop the habits of mind that serve a child long after graduation. The Character Counts! curriculum runs alongside academics, embedding values like respect, responsibility, fairness, and perseverance into the daily routine. It's not a poster on the wall. It's how the school operates.

More than twelve clubs, and none of them cost extra

Digital Creators Club. Gardening Club. Puzzle and LEGO Build Club. Camping Club. Clay Club. KickBall Club. Dance and Karaoke. Community Outreach. Kindness Club. Pet and Animal Club. Game Club. Movie Club. Coloring Club. Your child picks what interests him or her. After-school enrichment runs four days a week until 5:00 p.m., free of charge.

A community that walks through the building

The VFW Auxiliary doesn't just donate; they read with students and run craft activities. The Stonewood CEOS Club provides goods and services to families who need them. Toni's Ice Cream gives students free ice cream tokens. The Educational Partnership Council is made up of parent volunteers who help with classroom activities, school events, and decorating. These aren't partners in name. They're partners in practice.

Events that bring families together

Fall Festival. Trunk or Treat. Veterans Day Celebration. Grandparents Day. Earth Day. Read Across America Week. Holiday parties. Kindergarten Promotion. A summer pool outing at Splash Zone. The school calendar is built around the idea that a school should be a place families want to come to, not just send their children to.
