A wide range of educational opportunities are offered to students. All elementary children receive advanced training in technology in addition to fundamental instruction in reading, science, social studies, language arts, health and physical education. The academic program at the middle schools is exploratory in which students may schedule a variety of courses. In addition to the required courses, electives are offered in vocational programs, music, home economics, art, band, and more. With the advice of parents, teachers, and counselors, a carefully planned proposal for a high school program is developed to reflect future needs and interests of each eighth grade student.

The high school curriculum not only challenges students who go on to college, but also provides job-ready skills to those who enter the work force after graduation through its varied vocational courses and its partnership with the Sumter County Career Center. High school students have the opportunity to take advanced courses in addition to college level courses through Central Carolina Technical College and USC Sumter. Students at all grade levels can also take advantage of a wide range of extracurricular activities that enhance their learning environment.
