Paul Knox Middle School is helping all students develop the World Class Skills of the Profile of the South Carolina Graduate by providing a safe, caring, and academically challenging learning environment focused on critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity.  At Paul Knox Middle School students follow the Patriot Path to High School Readiness with a robust academic experience within our thematic school of science with a focus on science and technology. As Aiken County continues to grow and become the global hub for Cyber Technology, medical, and nuclear industries, we strive to provide our students with authentic experiences to foster interest in growing economies.

At Paul Knox, we support growth in science and technology through coursework and extracurricular opportunities. We have an active Cyber Patriots team that competes with other schools in our region. Additionally, we provide students with exposure to the sciences, technologies, and arts through extensive offerings in our exploratory courses. We use a one-to-one instructional format for instruction to increase students’ technological abilities. At Paul Knox, we offer art, STEM, Fundamentals of Computing, Introduction to Careers, gardening, chorus, guitar, orchestra, and band in addition to remediation courses and PE/ health. As we strive to provide a world-class education to our students, most individuals at Paul Knox are encouraged to take a high school credit course before they leave Paul Knox Middle School. For the 2025-2026 school year we offered Art 1, Fundamentals of Computing, Geometry, and English 1. 

We are excited to continue our academic evolution and our partnerships with local industry and community. Please feel free to contact the school at any time with questions or comments. Paul Knox is a school pursuing excellence every day.
