Principal 

Agnor-Hurt Elementary

2018-19 School Year

Come Lead the Future with Us

Albemarle County Public Schools is currently accepting applications for Principal at Agnor-Hurt Elementary School. This vacancy is for the 2018-2019 school year. 

Agnor-Hurt Elementary School, located in Charlottesville's urban ring, provides a safe and trusting learning environment that embraces diversity and different cultures. The staff and school community are committed to empowering students to be creative lifelong learners and productive global citizens through relationships, compassion, and perseverance. As 21st century learners, students will develop into individuals who can adapt, create, collaborate, succeed, and meet the challenges of a constantly evolving world.

A core belief of the Agnor-Hurt instructional program is that the foundations of reading and mathematical thinking support lifelong learning and 21st century citizenship. Students are challenged on a daily basis to develop the skills they need to solve new and increasingly complex problems and to develop the skills they need to read and write with meaningful purpose across their entire curriculum. A hallmark of the school’s innovative work in this area is the commitment to a multi-age instructional program. The multi-age program continues to expand in the school and allows for rich student and teacher experiences through team-taught, interdisciplinary classes of students from multiple grade levels. This instructional methodology allows for a high degree of personalization of instruction, developing experiences for students based on individual academic needs, instead of simply relying on age or grade level.
