AHS Zoo School

The AHS Zoo School is located at the North Carolina Zoological Park in Asheboro, NC. We are a science-themed, cross-curricular focused small learning community that actively engages students in real life experiences in our 1,500 acre campus. Students have the opportunity to work with NC Zoo staff and apply their scientific investigation skills to solve problems.

Our student population is comprised of ninety tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grade students. Students enrolled in our program come from a varied socio-economic levels and ethnic backgrounds.

We are very excited about the many opportunites afforded to our students through our partnership with the North Carolina Zoo, North Carolina Zoo Society, and various other community partners.  Our students have an opportunity to apply their knowledge and skills to areas such as marketing, botany, wetland management, field studies, graphic design, business management, and journalism.  Hands-on learning is the norm instead of the exception in our classrooms and we are proud of the quality work that our students produce.
