Sterling Paideia Elementary School is a partial Paideia magnet school located in southwest Charlotte. Paideia (pronounced "Pa-DAY-a") is Greek for "the education of the whole child".

Sterling is a wonderful place for adults and children to learn and grow. We believe and encourage the adults in our building to learn and grow in order to filter this desire into the children we serve. As the adults aim to grow, we provide educational opportunities that foster learning and growth experiences for the "whole child". The children that enter this building are immersed with support and encouragement throughout their elementary years.

We have a host of dedicated staff who believe that all children should and will experience overall success. The Sterling Staff pride themselves in creating learning opportunities that meet the needs of all children, regardless of race, socio-economic status, ethnicity or academic ability. We openly seek strategies that help our children become improved students, "better" friends and successful adults. Sterling has an open door policy and we welcome you to visit with us at any time.
