How to Apply & Events
We are always happy to welcome visitors, but there are plenty of ways to connect to our community and tour our campus virtually as well.
Our campus is open to in-person visits, but if time or distance limits your physical access to Cape Fear Academy rest assured that our Virtual Admission Center is open. We have virtual tours for Lower School, Middle School, and Upper School. Follow Associate Director Alison Reid as she guides you through each division and visits some of our classrooms, labs, and arts, athletic, and outdoor facilities.

Get Connected
Want to get to know our community and hear a first-hand experience? Our parents and students are here to chat as well! We value community and know that both parents and students are eager to connect. We encourage you to hear from others. Our student ambassadors can chat with your student about anything from day to day life, dress-code or what’s the best item in our dining hall! Parent Ambassadors are ready to answer questions about our values, faculty and coaches, the transition to a new school, and what our educational experience is like.
