Our district/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. In order to meet the needs of the students and families that we serve, Paul Knox has continued to provide a robust academic experience through our thematic school of science and focus on STEAM in an environment that is supportive and caring. 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 have an active Cyber Patriots team, STEM team, and Future Cities team. All three of these teams competed in local and state competitions where they placed in top categories. Additionally, we provide students with exposure to the sciences, technologies, and arts through extensive offerings in our exploratory courses. All instruction at Paul Knox Middle School is delivered through a one-to-one format which increases students' technological abilities which is a foremost domain of the 21st century learner. We are also one of the only middle schools to offer Physical Science as a high school credit class, as recommended by professors and high school teachers in our area. This is a class that sets the foundation and prepares students for all other sciences in high school and for college readiness. We offer art, digital art, STEM, chorus, guitar, orchestra, and band in addition to a number of remediation courses and PE/ health. As we strive to provide a world-class education to all of our students, the majority of Paul Knox students are encouraged to take a high school level class before they leave Paul Knox Middle School. We currently offer Physical Science, IT Fundamentals, Algebra 1, Geometry, English 1, and Spanish at Paul Knox Middle School.
We are excited to continue our academic evolution and the partnerships with local industry and community. Please feel free to contact the school at any time with questions or comments. Upon your first visit, we’re sure you will agree, “We enter to learn; leave to achieve.”
