Thanks to our partnership with Kintegra Health, we offer a telehealth clinic here at our school. Students, who are experiencing a minor illness or condition, can be seen by a medical provider virtually. This allows us to provide care for students without them having to leave school to go to the doctor.

Small Class Sizes

At Bessemer City Primary School, small class sizes mean big opportunities. With fewer than 20 students per classroom on average, our teachers can give each child the attention and support they need to succeed.
