Wake County Education Opportunities
Educational opportunities are abundant. The Wake County public school system is the best in the state, and the highly educated population of this area intends to keep it that way. Wake County is well-known for innovations in education, including the magnet school program which offers parents choices for their students such as classical studies, extended day and year-round calendars, and gifted and talented programs. Most of Wake County schools are on a traditional school calendar; the year-round programs are offered as an option that some families love. Higher educational opportunities are also plentiful with large universities like Duke, NC State, and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and also smaller colleges like Meredith, Peace, Wake Technical Community College, and others.
Newcomers are welcomed to this area. After IBM first chose Research Triangle Park in the early 1 960s, other companies followed suit, bringing newcomers from all over the world. Cultural diversity and a highly educated population have made us strong and tolerant. People like it here and welcome the opportunity to share their experiences.
