The Carolina Academy holds true to its mission of fostering a challenging academic environment that honors teaching and learning, respects differences, expects honesty, and applauds achievement. All great journeys start with a first step, and we encourage you to find out what we are about at The Carolina Academy.

The Carolina Academy admits students of any color, race, sex, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, and activities generally accorded and made available to students at the school. With limited size, new students are contacted for possible admission according to the date the application was made. We accept applications at any time. Before a student is considered for admissions, the following items need to be submitted:

  • A completed Application through FACTS.
  • Copy of most recent standardized test results
  • Attendance, disciplinary, and psychological data
  • Appointment for interview (Grades 7-12)
