Mission: All children thrive in a community rooted in justice and equity.
Central Park School for Children is a child-centered, progressive charter school in Durham, North Carolina, serving students in kindergarten through 8th grade. Located in Durham's vibrant downtown Central Park district, the school opened in 2003 and has been pioneering admissions policies to provide greater access to underrepresented students since 2013.
CPSC enrolls just over 600 students between two campuses and provides three to four classrooms at each grade level. At all levels, CPSC engages the whole child with a hands-on, project based approach. We combine traditional academics with art, music and movement, problem solving, conflict resolution, and environmental education. Our students play outdoors every day, with a mid-day recess at all grade levels and additional outdoor time for younger grades.
