View Our Tuition Frequently Asked Questions What should families consider when choosing a Pre-K–8 school versus separate elementary and middle schools? Choosing a Pre-K–8 school provides students with a stable, supportive environment throughout their most foundational years. This continuity allows educators to develop a profound understanding of each child, tailoring both academic and emotional support to their specific needs. As students mature, they flourish as the leaders of the campus, building immense self-assurance while serving as role models for younger peers. Staying within one community eliminates the anxiety of major school transitions, ensuring that each step forward feels like a natural and connected progression in their educational journey. How does Chesterbrook Academy Elementary and Middle School in Cary prepare students for high school? We prepare our students for high school by intentionally teaching essential life skills such as self-advocacy, time management, organization, and personal responsibility. Students also build strong communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills that support both academic and social success. In addition, they are given meaningful leadership and volunteer opportunities that foster confidence, independence, and a sense of community. Does Chesterbrook Academy Elementary and Middle School in Cary offer financial aid or tuition assistance? While we do not offer traditional need-based financial aid, we encourage families to investigate the NCSEAA Opportunity Scholarship.
