Noble Central School
Noble Central School has been providing quality education to the families of Nobleford and the surrounding area since 1949. From 2016 to 2018, Noble Central underwent an $8 million modernization project which saw improvements to the structure and accessibility of the building, as well as upgrades in technology in the classrooms and throughout the school. We believe that strong literacy and reading skills are important to the success of every student. Together at Noble Central we encourage success and compassion, model care and concern for others and instill a desire to learn and be contributing members of society. A large part of this means giving students access to many different learning opportunities.
