From the Head of School

Lydia Soto

Dear Future CBA Family,

Thank you for your interest in Chesterbrook Academy Elementary and Middle School in Cary. We are honored and thrilled to have the chance to welcome your family into our community. Let me tell you why our school is such a great place.

Since we opened in 2000, we have helped children from preschool through 8th grade learn and grow. Families love that our curriculum is aligned to key learning standards and responsive to each child’s needs and pace. Our teachers are caring and dedicated individuals who use their creativity to bring our program to life.

Our curriculum is founded on rich and challenging content that engages our students and inspires them to develop a love of learning. However, we believe that learning is more than just reading and math. That is why we include art, music, technology, Spanish, Mandarin, and gym. These classes are essential to educating the whole child.

We know that children receive the best possible education when families are involved. For that reason, we stay connected with families through newsletters and emails. Good communication with families is a way of life at our school.

We would love to meet you! Contact us to schedule a visit and see our school in action. We look forward to learning about your child and how we can help them thrive.

Sincerely,
Lydia Soto, Head of School
