Only At North Raleigh Home / About Us / Only At North Raleigh Choosing Chesterbrook Academy We know that parents have a lot of choices for their child’s education. So, why do families choose Chesterbrook Academy Preschool and Elementary School and stay with us until their child graduates? It’s because so many wonderful things happen at our private school, #OnlyAtNorthRaleigh. Let us tell you more! Dolphin Pride At Chesterbrook Academy North Raleigh, our school is full of Dolphin Pride! Dolphin means showing positive leadership, respect, integrity, kindness, and excellence every day. These ideas help us all work together and be our best. We start each day with the pledge. This special time brings us together as a school family. It reminds us to take care of each other and grow as future leaders. We love celebrating the hard work of our amazing students and teachers. Leadership Studies Our Leadership Studies class prepares our students to lead not just today, but also tomorrow and in the future! They learn about self-awareness, managing their emotions, making good choices, and building strong friendships. They practice skills such as working as a team, understanding others’ feelings, and setting goals for themselves. They learn to think about their actions and make good decisions. Hispanic Heritage We love celebrating Hispanic heritage at our school. These celebrations help us learn about the many wonderful Hispanic cultures and the growing Hispanic community in our country. We enjoy yummy treats like churros and watch exciting performances. With help from our music and drama teachers, we see dances and listen to the lively music of a mariachi band. These celebrations are a fun way to show how much we appreciate the many beautiful colors and cultures of our world! Book Character Parade Our Book Character parade brings stories to life. Students will pick a book or story, read it, and pick their favorite character. Typically around Halloween, the whole school will bring in their book and dress up for a parade to showcase their love of reading and bringing their chosen character to our very own community. Field Day Field day is a great way for us to show our Dolphin Pride and get active! This event allows all of our students and staff to relish in the amazing nature campus we have. We use the picnic tables, amphitheater, and sport courts to do loads of fun games. The day fosters school spirit, teamwork, leadership, and a love of the outdoors. Reading Buddies Once a month, older students get together with younger students to participate in Reading Buddies. This program helps build strong friendships and encourages a love for reading. Older students read stories to their younger buddies, helping them discover the joy of books. Younger students also get the chance to ask questions, share their favorite parts of the story, and practice reading with the support of their older friends. Outdoor Oasis Our campus is an outdoor oasis. Only here will you find a school surrounded by so much natural beauty. From our amphitheater and sport court to our playgrounds, every area is made to inspire curiosity and creativity. The amphitheater doubles as an outdoor classroom, hosting lessons that connect our students with the environment, and transforms into a stage for performances. Our students love exploring our nature trail and outdoor learning area! They do fun, hands-on activities like science experiments and STEM projects. These adventures help them learn about nature and how things work.
