Welcome 

At Charleston Academy, we are proud to serve the young people, families, and community of Inverness. Our school is built on the values of Teamwork, Respect, Ambition and Kindness, which shape the way we learn, work and grow together every day.

We are committed to providing a high-quality education that not only raises attainment but also develops the whole child. Our aim is for every young person to leave Charleston Academy confident in their abilities, proud of their achievements, and ready to contribute positively to society.

As a school, we place great importance on creating an inclusive, supportive and aspirational environment where every pupil is known, valued and encouraged to reach their full potential. We are equally proud of our young people’s achievements in the classroom, on the sports field, in creative arts, and through their contributions to the wider community.

Located in the heart of the Highlands, Charleston Academy has strong partnerships with local organisations, employers and universities. These links help us to provide rich opportunities and pathways for all learners, preparing them for life beyond school in further education, training or employment.

We greatly value the support of our parents, carers and partners in education. By working together, we can ensure that Charleston Academy continues to thrive as a school where young people are inspired, challenged and supported to succeed.

We look forward to welcoming you into our school community and sharing all that Charleston Academy has to offer.
