As an accredited school, we base our classes on the Albemarle County curriculum and the Virginia Standards of Learning. Students at Murray follow the same standardized testing procedures as the other high schools. Like the other schools, we operate on the school calendar adopted for all county schools and follow the Albemarle County Schools Policies and Regulations that govern school operations, student services, and personnel. One of the most noticeable differences is our size. At full capacity we serve just over 100 students.
Teamwork is essential to our success.
Using this mastery learning model, students work independently and take the time they need to master material. Classes at Murray are characterized by independent, interdisciplinary, and experiential learning activities. Unlike the other high schools, students take only 4 classes each semester that meet every day. At the semester, the three double block classes change, and the single block class continues for the rest of the year. Every student and staff member is responsible for the success of our school community, and we accept the responsibility of making appropriate choices.
