Campus Our PreK – Grade 12 campus rests on 145 acres in rural Caroline County, VA, approximately halfway between Richmond and Fredericksburg. The campus facilities consist of three main buildings. The main building houses the lower school, library, and administrative offices. There is a brand new two-story secondary building that houses the middle and upper school that was completed in the Spring of 2020. The gymnasium building is home to a state-of-the-art, 10,000 sq. ft. volleyball and basketball court, the weight room, and two additional classrooms for art and music. The Carmel School also has a fully irrigated soccer/football field and a softball/baseball practice field.
Enrollment Over 250
Lower School (K – 5th): about 46% of the student body
Middle School (6th – 8th): about 29% of the student body
Upper School (9th – 12th): about 25% of the student body
Class Sizes At The Carmel School, we believe that students thrive when class sizes are intentionally small. We boast a 12-1 student-teacher ratio in all core classes, in all divisions (Lower, Middle & Upper Schools).
Faculty The Carmel School employs over 60 full and part-time teachers. Our teachers are degreed and credentialed from accredited higher-level educational institutions. The majority of The Carmel School teachers hold Virginia state licenses and all have extensive experience in their fields of expertise.
Safety Our first and foremost concern at The Carmel School is to ensure the health, safety, and well-being of every student, staff, faculty member, and visitor to campus. Please take a moment to watch the following video to get a sense of how important this is to our community.
Accreditation and Memberships The Carmel School is accredited by the Southern Association of Independent Schools (SAIS) and is also a member of the Virginia Independent Schools Athletic Association (VISAA). Our Preschool program is fully licensed by the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Technology Technology is integrated into all aspects of The Carmel School experience. Students begin taking technology classes in Kindergarten and have unlimited access to the Library's digital resources both on and off campus. The campus has a fully integrated wireless network and interactive whiteboards in every classroom. All students in the Middle and Upper Schools have their own school email account with full access to the school's suite of Google Apps for Education, and Middle and Upper School students participate in a 1-to-1 tablet/laptop program.
