Since the beginning, Pamlico County has provided the foundations for a better life for its residents. Our schools, medical centers, senior living centers and programs rank in the top in North Carolina.
Our Teachers’ Commitment Sets Us Apart
When it comes to education, Pamlico County Schools works to provide engaging classroom environments and opportunities that prepare its students for the world beyond. The approximately 2,000 student school system excels in several focus areas that are critical for providing a quality education: quality instruction, high academic achievements, a supportive learning environment, and a strong parental and community network.
Our public-school system serves grades Pre-K thru 12th. Because of our low population, our schools are known for excellent programs and activities, such as the weekly Elementary Spelling Bee, STEM Program (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), NJROTC, competitive sports and athletics program, drama and music.
The diversity of our community and richness that it brings to our schools is distinctive for a small rural school in Eastern North Carolina. We also have a public charter school, Arapahoe Charter School, that serves students Pre-K through 12th and the private, Pamlico Christian Academy that incorporates a daily spiritual curriculum.
Pamlico County also offers an early education program for children younger than Kindergarten age. Pre-kindergarten classes are offered to 4-year-olds in all three school systems and at the Pamlico Community Development Center. Several locally owned private day care centers are located in Pamlico County.
Residents can also pursue a college education at Pamlico Community College. Recognized as America’s No. 1 community college for students’ educational outcomes, the college offers a variety of degree programs and distance learning opportunities. The college enables residents to reach their education potential with the luxury of staying close to home.
