We also offer the best of curriculum in literacy, math, and social studies, including partnerships with the University of Virginia, and other local museums and historic sites.
Our division includes:
- Six elementary schools, grades pre-K through 4: Burnley-Moran, Greenbrier, Jackson-Via, Johnson, Summit, and Trailblazer
- Walker Upper Elementary School (Grades 5-6) and Buford Middle School (Grades 7-8)
- Charlottesville High School (Grades 9-12)

We are currently embarking on a redesign of Buford Middle School which will support a divisionwide school reconfiguration plan:
- Buford (to be named Charlottesville Middle School) will serve 6-8th grade;
- 5th graders will stay at their elementary schools
- Walker will become a designated early education center to better serve our preschoolers.
