Education

We make no bones about it, Education is a Southern Value…

If you are moving to this region for work and looking for a suitable school for your children you have come to the right place. The Rocky Mount area has an abundance of public and private schools to suit all preferences. If you would prefer home-schooling or a charter school, we have that option as well.

For post-secondary education our region offers many options from North Carolina Wesleyan College to Nash Community College and Edgecombe Community College. We also have many organizations in the region focused on career, online, retraining and vocational options.   Our region enjoys the additional resources of the Gateway Technology Center, where adult degree online programs are offered in partnership with many colleges in North Carolina.  There are also a host of colleges and universities throughout our state that offer online education options.

If you are here to attend school the only problem you will face is how to get all of your homework done without being distracted by all that life here has to offer.
