About Albemarle County Public Schools

We are an educator-driven community dedicated to ensuring every student succeeds. Our mission is to end the predictive value of race, class, gender, and special capacities for our children's success through high-quality teaching and learning for all. As the first public school division in Virginia to implement an Anti-Racism policy, we are committed to building school communities that share the responsibility to recognize and end racism, eliminate inequitable practices that result in achievement gaps, and support the unique gifts, talents, and interests of every child.
