Caring and Sharing Learning School was founded by Dr. Simon and Verna Johnson. Caring and Sharing Learning School accepted its first class in 1998 with the mission to foster learning through rigorous academics as well as through activities that link concepts and content to experience in an environment that stresses high expectations for students. Caring and Sharing Learning School encourages parent/family involvement and school/community volunteerism so that students will acquire a base of real world experiences to maintain motivation toward becoming lifelong learners and community participants.

Caring and Sharing Learning School has received numerous National, State and Local educational awards. In addition, the school has been featured in People Magazine, The Kelly Clarkston Show and various local and national media outlets.
