Our Allendale-Fairfax Elementary School is an elementary school for children in Prek-5th grade.  Our goal is to have all students performing at grade level or above in English language arts, mathematics, science and social studies.  By performing at grade level or above in these core subjects, we will be able to lay down a solid academic foundation enabling our students to be fully prepared for the middle school and beyond.  We purposely say “our” Allendale-Fairfax Elementary School because we believe that the school belongs to all of us and by all of us we mean: Staff + Parents/Families + Students.  As a united force, we believe that our efforts will allow us to realize our mission. Our curriculum is aligned to the South Carolina Curriculum Standards and includes a literacy block with integration of social studies and science. 

Our mathematics curriculum allows for rigorous instruction and affords students ample opportunities to engage in higher-order thinking skills by applying learned skills to real world settings.  Problem based learning promotes students working collaboratively while teachers foster a student-centered and student-driven learning environment.  Our curriculum and pacing guides are aligned to the South Carolina Curriculum Standards and ensure that our students are exposed to the critical skills that they must develop at each grade level and throughout their K-12 educational experience.  It is the expectation that our guides are used at the classroom level to address skills that are essential to ensure endurance, leverage, and readiness for the next level of learning among all students. 

Our Enrichment programs expose our students to extra-curricular activities, which not only complement our school goals, but also ensure students are having fun while building academic and social skills.  Classes such as Cheerleading, Steel Band, General Band and other offerings expose our students to enrichment they might not get outside of the school environment.
