CARE Elementary School – Nurturing the Overtown Community

Christian Academy for Reaching Excellence

The Mission of CARE Elementary School is to provide children in the Overtown vicinity the best opportunity for academic success and character development in a nurturing Christian environment.

CARE Elementary School is committed to quality instruction by dedicated certified teachers, small classes with teachers’ aides in each class, technology embedded into the engaging curriculum and the ongoing support of volunteers.

At CARE we value the rich multicultural nature of our community and we strive to include individuals from diverse backgrounds, embracing the exposure and opportunity it provides our students to learn understanding and acceptance of different ethnicities.  We provide a caring, respectful, and safe environment in which to prepare confident, lifelong learners and responsible citizens.

CARE Elementary School is grateful to our Sponsors for their generous support in helping us to provide the CARE education at no charge to families.

Our CARE Allstar Team

“CARE provides students an opportunity to embrace a high-quality education in a loving, nurturing environment immersed in Christian values. I have a tremendous love for reading and enjoy sharing the gift of literacy with students. Helping each child reach their highest potential is my mission.
”

Ms. Woods, 1st Grade

“Teaching at CARE has shown me the real difference someone can make in the lives of the children here. It’s the most rewarding job I’ve had.”

Mrs. Stokesberry, 3rd Grade

“I love working at CARE because it allows me to just be me.  Being a staff member at CARE is an incredible experience, one you will not get anywhere else.  CARE pushes you to your limits, brings out your strengths and weaknesses, and allows you space to grow into the person God has created you to be.  Working at CARE has been one of my biggest blessings. ”

Ms. Wheat, 2nd Grade

“I love working at CARE because it provides me with the opportunity to educate the whole child. Seeing the looks on their faces when they have an “AHA! moment” is incomparable to anything I’ve ever experienced.”

Ms. Williams, 5th Grade
