Our Culture

What truly makes Cary Academy an eminent school is not the national awards and accolades it receives, but the lasting relationships formed in the halls, walkways and classrooms.

Whenever students, parents, alumni and faculty are asked what makes CA stand out to them, they all mention relationships. Students and alumni talk about the tight bonds formed with classmates and teachers inside the classroom and outside of school on field trips and bus rides to away games. Parents refer to ties made with other parents and teachers at PTAA meetings and Meet the Teacher nights, and teachers comment on the friendships that blossom each year with students and that continue to grow with alumni.

Cary Academy has now completed its first ten years and is embarking on its second decade of service.  In that time the school has created a true learning community, one that prides itself on the pillars of the school's mission - discovery, innovation, collaboration and excellence. But the capstone of those four pillars is, and always will be, the relationships built during a student's tenure at Cary Academy.
