Our Mission

It all starts with our mission. Cary Academy has had the same mission since 1997, the first year we opened our doors to students. It was developed collaboratively and has stood the test of time. And it’s not just words on paper. Ask any employee or student what the school’s mission is, and chances are, they can tell you. It even has its own acronym—DICE. 

The mission is the foundation upon which Cary Academy is built. Along with our values, it serves as a steadying point of reference as we grow and evolve. When we get stuck and need direction, we return to the mission. When we forge ahead, we use the mission to guide us. 

Cary Academy is a learning community committed to discovery, innovation, collaboration, and excellence.

What do these words mean?  Much time and thought have been invested in explaining the mission in more detail to help those new to the school or coming in from the outside understand what we are about:

Discovery

Cary Academy nurtures the courage and sparks the curiosity to question assumptions and explore ideas in order to make a positive impact in the world.

Innovation

Cary Academy implements bold and creative strategies, connecting ideas and technologies to forge new realities.

Collaboration

Cary Academy nurtures interactions within our school community and encourages engagement, locally and globally, to enrich lives.

Excellence

Cary Academy recognizes excellence as meaningful growth resulting from the dedicated pursuit of individual and shared goals.
