Core Beliefs

Every student deserves to be challenged in meaningful learning each day.

#1 Every student is uniquely capable and deserves to be challenged and engaged in relevant, rigorous, and meaningful learning each day. 

#2 Every student is expected to learn, grow, and succeed while we will eliminate the ability to predict achievement based on socioeconomic status, race, and ethnicity. 

#3 Well-supported, highly effective, and dedicated principals, teachers, and staff are essential to success for all students. 

#4 The Board of Education, superintendent, and all staff, while sustaining best practices, will promote and support a culture of continuous improvement, risk-taking, and innovation that results in a high-performing organization focused on student achievement, well-being, and student agency.

#5 The Board of Education, superintendent, and all staff value a diverse school community that is inviting, respectful, inclusive, flexible, and supportive. 

#6 The Wake County residents value a strong public school system and will partner to provide the support and resources to fully realize our shared vision, accomplish the mission, and sustain our core beliefs.

White Oak Elementary, a three-story prototype elementary school, opened for the 2016-2017 school year. It was built on a 23.25-acre site on White Oak Church Road in western Apex. The school is just down White Oak Church Road’s crossing of the American Tobacco Trail. Architects MBAJ/Boomerang Design designed this elementary school prototype. 

We are fortunate to have such a beautiful learning environment for our students!
