Climb to Success

An overview of the Amherst County Public Schools Comprehensive Plan

Student Achievement, Learning, and Outcomes

We believe that all students should participate in an educational experience that prepares them for the challenges and opportunities of life in an ever-changing world.

Safe and Supportive Learning Environment

We believe all students should be empowered and supported to achieve their academic, career, and personal goals they have determined for themselves.

Community Engagement

We believe that when schools, families, and communities work together to support learning, students are more likely to earn higher grades, attend school more regularly, enroll in higher level programs, graduate prepared to engage their world, and experience positive impacts on their mental health.

Equity

We are committed to ensuring all students have access to the resources, opportunities, and support they need to succeed, regardless of their starting point, background or circumstances.

Human Resources

We believe every employee plays a vital role in ensuring the success of Every Child, Every Day!

Operations

We believe that students should have innovative, safe, and healthy learning environments.

Stay Connected

Whether it’s celebrating student achievements, sharing resources for parents, or providing essential updates, our social media channels are a great way to stay informed.
