The Water's Edge Village School (WEVS - pronounced "waves") is a public, K-8, charter school in Corolla, NC. In its 14th year, WEVS hosts 50 students and a staff of seven.

Our staff of eight are all NC-licensed teachers with a variety of degrees, backgrounds, and certifications. (See board and staff here.)

WEVS encourages all students to explore their emerging strengths and potential through active participation in the learning process. A challenging, project-based education following the NC Standard Course of Study guides students on a path of life-long learning.

WEVS does not discriminate or otherwise prohibit any person from any services or positions on the basis of race, color, age, gender, religion, sexual orientation or expression, national/ethnic origin, or disability for purposes of hiring and enrollment.

Our board of directors meets monthly at 3pm - virtually - on the third Wednesday of every month. The meetings are public and all are welcome. See board meeting dates and information here and our yearly school event calendar below.
