Home of the Koalas, C.E. Curtis Elementary School is one of three elementary schools in the Chester neighborhood. It first opened its doors back in 1959 and took its name in honor of Clarence E. Curtis Sr., a former Chairman of the Chesterfield County School Board.
Providing “A Koala-ty Education,” C.E. Curtis Elementary School welcomes students as young as prekindergarten with their Head Start program. The program allows parents to enroll their children in prekindergarten so that they have a smooth transition once they are ready to begin kindergarten. In addition, the school serves up to fifth grade. Like all elementary schools in Chesterfield County, C.E. Curtis has an English as a Second Language program.
To engage students aside from the basic academic schedule, the school provides several clubs and activities year-round. Clubs such as STEAM, which stands for science, technology, engineering, art and math, meet on a weekly basis and prepare to represent the school during STEAMania. Other clubs are offered such as Girls on the Run and Rock Paper Scissors. C.E. Curtis Elementary School also engages young minds to read with their nine-week reading challenge. Here, students are challenged to read at least 20 minutes a day for nine weeks. Students who submit their reading challenge completion receive a prize.
C.E. Curtis Elementary School provides children with the tools needed to succeed academically along with a gymnasium and multimedia center.

Community memberOverall experienceJust because this school is in chesterfield County does not mean that it meets the standards of a chesterfield County school.
