Cary Academy is a technological dreamland which still keeps to it's roots in the humanities. It offers a wide variety of courses and requires all students to take some form of art elective. Cary Academy promotes a kind of diversity rarely seen at other schools.
This school does a fantastic job preparing students for college. Already well known for excellence in academics and arts, it is also becoming known for some very competitive athletic programs. Despite it's rather small size, Cary Academy has many other extracurricular activities that allow their students to develop their passions and leadership skills. College counselors work closely with students to help them enter into the schools that best fit the child.
As a parent, I have found that Cary Academy strives for excellence in all areas. Continuously challenging for the student, providing students to reach their full potential, but allowing some balance through extra-curricular option , as well as choosing a 'major' in the Arts, which students have every day (as well as daily PE and foreign language) The school's use of laptops & technology is outstanding. Our child has had some wonderfully creative and inspitring teachers and good guidance from instructors when needed, especially through their yearly 'Advisor' program. As a family, we have been pleased to find it a collaborative community and my dsughter has made wonderful friends. My only warning for some is that because of the schools high academic reputation, the homework load is rigorous and demanding.
