ABOUT EDUCATION - Earlysville Virginia is home to Broadus Wood Elementary School, a rural facility on 12 acres. The school was founded in 1935 and renovated in 1993. Students feed into Jack Jouett Middle School and the highly rated Albemarle High School in the city Of Charlottesville. Broadus Wood has an extensive play area, softball field, exercise track, and soccer field; these serve as a community park after hours. The school's physical education teacher, Nancy Markos, won NASPE's 2003's National Elementary School Physical Education Teacher of the Year. She specializes in kinesthetic training, which is a school focus. According to school principal Barbara Edwards, "a recent goal of our school was to better coordinate and connect content learning through physical education, art and music”. Nancy readily jumped at this opportunity and has created a natural blend with her physical education classes." An after-school program is available to students, and there is a strong home-schooling network operating in the area.
