Southshire Community School is an accredited, family-oriented, elementary school (K-8) in the tradition of the one-room school house.

Founded in 1987, our goal has been to help children become individuals who possess academic and critical thinking skills; and who value themselves as creative, contributing members of a community; who see themselves as problem solvers; and who love learning. At Southshire Community School, children are:

* Given the freedom to explore their own interests both individually and as a group in a safe environment.
* Allowed to progress at their own pace while holding an expectation of excellence.
* Provided a curriculum which has meaning and context for them.
* Addressed as a whole child: recognizing and working with the physical, intellectual, emotional and social aspects of each child, individually.

Southshire Community School has a long history of maintaining affordable tuition for all families. Financial assistance is available. Southshire Community School admits students regardless of race, religion, ethnic background, or handicap. Southshire Community School is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
