Who We Are

“In pursuit of what is good, true, and beautiful, for every Carroll County student.”

Carroll Classical Charter School will provide a well-rounded instructional program grounded in the classical education model that develops knowledge, reasoning, and eloquent self-expression in students, while fulfilling its role as a Maryland public charter school, tuition-free and authorized to operate with instructional flexibility in exchange for public accountability, to prepare students to be wise, informed, and engaged citizens.

Why Classical?

Classical education is a time-tested approach to learning that emphasizes a deep understanding of the liberal arts and sciences. It focuses on teaching students to think critically, reason logically, and communicate effectively, with an emphasis on mastering core subjects like literature, history, math, and science, while also incorporating art, music, and Latin.

Our Mission & Vision

The mission of Carroll Classical Charter School (CCCS) is to provide a well-rounded instructional program that fosters students’ knowledge, reasoning, and self-expression, equipping them with the skills necessary to cultivate a wise and informed citizenry.

The vision of CCCS is an innovative approach to classical education, blending traditional pedagogy with hands-on experiences in areas such as agriculture, nature, and a multidisciplinary makerspace.

What Are Charter Schools?

Charter schools are public schools that offer parents the opportunity to pick a school that best fits the needs of their child. There is never a cost to attend and they are open to all students regardless of their school zoning. Charter schools make decisions close to the students, empowering teachers to provide innovative, high-quality instruction and giving them the autonomy to design a classroom that fits their students’ needs.
