Community Independent School cultivates joyful, life-long learners by fostering an engaged community dedicated to nurturing the whole child and respecting the uniqueness of each individual. We are committed to teaching and learning cooperatively in a multi-faceted natural setting that encourages meaningful hands-on investigation.
Located in Chatham County, convenient to Chapel Hill and Pittsboro, North Carolina on six acres of wooded land. With a multi-ecosystem campus, organic gardens and farm animals, CIS places strong emphasis on teaching children in the out of doors. Students experience lessons in science, math, art, and more in nature.
Reaching for the stars and a life-long love of learning, Community Independent School is moving through a strategic planning process leading toward future expansion.
Community Independent School is now accepting preschoolers and students rising through Middle School.
