Sumter County Schools

The Elementary Education Department provides leadership in curriculum, instruction and assessment that inspires all learners to reach their highest potential as responsible, productive citizens. We believe that all students benefit from rigorous and engaging learning experiences, academic play, and positive social interactions in order to ensure future success.  We prepare teachers to be classroom leaders who create learning environments that allow students to grow, challenge themselves, and thrive.

Our classrooms are built around trusting relationships and high-quality instruction that support students in challenging and diverse endeavors, no matter their background. We aim to support the learning and achievement of all staff members and students through exceptional customer service to schools, other departments, and the community in a caring, professional, and sensitive manner.
