About Royal Oaks School of the Arts:

Welcome to Royal Oaks School of the Arts, the only K-8 institution and the sole fine arts-focused school in the Cabarrus County Schools system. We cherish our small-school family atmosphere, with a close-knit community of approximately 600 students from kindergarten through 8th grade. Many of our students remain with us for the entire nine years, allowing us to build deep, meaningful relationships with them and their families.

At Royal Oaks, we believe intelligence manifests in diverse ways beyond traditional norms. Our unique approach integrates the arts into our curriculum, enabling students to engage with core content through music, theater, dance, strings, and visual arts. This method fosters a dynamic and immersive learning experience, making our students excited to come to school and truly "experience" their education.
