The elementary schools are organized in self-contained classrooms, and the program of instruction emphasizes basic skills but also includes fine arts and health and physical education. Because each student is unique, teaching techniques are designed to enhance the student's opportunities to realize his or her maximum potential academically, emotionally, physically and socially in a rapidly changing world with unforeseeable demands and possibilities. The middle school program creates a bridge between the elementary school and the high school by addressing the special academic, social and developmental needs of students in grades 6-8. The core of the program is the grade level team of teachers from various subjects, who create a positive learning environment and coordinate learning between subjects and across grade levels. Individual needs of students are met through the opportunity for acceleration or remediation in academic courses and the opportunity for growth and exploration in a variety of fine and practical arts and pre-vocational courses.
High schools offer a comprehensive curriculum that meets or exceeds state standards.
The core curriculum provides a foundation for academic excellence, promotes a variety of career options, and encourages students to reach their full potential. Depending on their academic needs and interests, students have access to special programs such as those offered by the Central Virginia Governor's School for Science and Technology, the Campbell County Apprenticeship Program, and the Central Virginia Community College. The guidance and counseling program in Campbell County Schools is a comprehensive K-12 curriculum that focuses on the development stages and needs of all students. For each grade level, counselors have defined competencies, or skills, that they feel are necessary for students to become successful and happy adults. To help students develop these skills, counselors use a variety of methods, such as individual counseling, small and large group counseling, and group guidance.
