Mission and Philosophy
 

MISSION
Cape Fear Academy strives to be a learning community sharing a commitment to respect, integrity, academic excellence, and service to others.

PHILOSOPHY
Cape Fear Academy, an independent coeducational day school, provides a challenging college preparatory program and a developmentally appropriate curriculum within a stimulating learning environment. The Academy considers scholarly achievement, character development, creative expression, and physical wellness the components of true excellence.

Students make a strong commitment to their own education while enjoying a close relationship with their teachers. The faculty is the cornerstone of the learning community and is committed to developing students who are knowledgeable, reflective, creative, caring, and active participants in a complex global society.

Each student is an individual with diverse skills, interests, and needs. With that in mind, the faculty employs teaching methods that engage the varied learning styles of students.

The Academy promotes a sense of community where students live as responsible persons whose word is their bond, whose work is their own, and around whom the property and well being of others are safe.
