The mission of St. Charles Elementary is to educate students according to their ability, so that they can build a foundation that will help them to reach their potential for higher learning and that will help them to be functioning members of a democratic society. We believe that the body and mind work together; therefore students need experiences that not only enhance academics and physical education, but experiences that also develop a positive attitude towards self and others. Students are encouraged to set goals of moral and social responsibility for their own actions. The administration and faculty have the responsibility to the students and the community to facilitate the learning process in accordance with Lee County School System's objectives and the Virginia Standards of Learning.
