Cape Fear Academy

Our family has been part of Cape Fear Academy for seven years (with our children starting in the Little Explorers program, then going to Lower School and now Middle School) and it has truly been a wonderful experience. Throughout those years, we''ve seen them grow and thrive in a safe, nurturing environment where they feel heard and supported. The teachers are always there for them and the academics have kept our kids engaged and challenged. We love seeing them make good friends, and actually enjoy learning. Plus, we feel very good about the school''s plans to expand in the coming years. Cape Fear Academy has been a wonderful part of our community, and we highly recommend it to any family.

My kids have just started their second year at Cape Fear Academy, and we simply could not be happier. It is a true learning community that feels like home. The administration models healthy relationships and fosters a culture where kids can make mistakes, learn from them, and move on. The teachers are passionate about their subject matter, but even more so in seeing that spark in the students. The support staff, from the office assistants to the often "invisible" staff who clean and maintain the grounds, are deeply generous people who care about every detail of their work. All of that is just a foundation to the culture of excellence in which the kids are steeped. They are learning subject matter, but also how to study, how to organize their lives, how to deal with conflict and disappointment in healthy ways, surrounded by other kids who are marvelous people. I cannot wait to see how the school and its leaders build on this in the coming years.

CFA has been the perfect choice for our child and family. The teachers truly are the heart of the school, and make all the difference. The attention each student receives is second to none. After five years at CFA, each year seems to get better. With a "hands-on" learning approach, fun field trips, extracurricular activities, and a true sense of "belonging", our child wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

We have had the pleasure of being part of the Cape Fear Academy community for over eight years, with both of our sons thriving in ways we couldn't have imagined. Each of our boys has unique strengths and challenges, and we've been amazed by the individualized attention and support they've received. The teachers and staff truly go above and beyond, treating our children as if they were their own. The nurturing environment at Cape Fear Academy has helped our children grow not only academically but also socially and emotionally. Both have formed strong friendships and love the wide range of extracurricular activities available, which has made their school experience all the more enriching.We are proud and deeply grateful to be part of this exceptional school community. Cape Fear Academy has been a gift to our family, and we can't recommend it highly enough.

Cape Fear Academy has been the best academic choice for all of our children. Each of them is unique in their interests and abilities, and CFA has been able to foster their development, encourage their growth, and support their challenges. Whether they're pursuing academic, athletic, artistic, or STEM opportunities, they are known by their teachers, coaches, and advocates. Beyond the kids' experiences, as a parent, I feel fully informed and aware of the curriculum, activities, and events that take place day to day. Thank you, CFA, for playing such an integral role in our kids' development. We're proud to be Hurricanes!

Cape fear academy has been wonderful for my daughter. She has attended for 6 years now and we have been completely satisfied with the efforts CFA has made to help our daughter grow. Thank you CFA!

Excellent academics and staff.

My child has been at Cape Fear for six years and has loved every minute. The classes are challenging and fun, and she adores her teachers. Beyond the classroom, there are overnight field trips, musicals, band, sports and numerous after-school activities. There is truly something for everyone at CFA.
