Cary Academy does a fantastic job in preparing students for college through their college counselling office and their plethora of resources. CA is also especially good at allowing students to pursue their passions through any lens that they want. STEM, arts, and even humanities all have weight at the school.

College counseling is amazing. There are wonderful resources to start any club you want, and really see any of your visions come to life

I feel extremely fortunate to have had this school recommended to me in 5th grade. No one in our family has ever attended a private school, but for our graduating senior, it gave him the exact formula for his personal success. The college counselors are wonderful too.

I emplore you not to send your kids here. Once they get into the upperschool, CA traps them by messing with their class rank if they leave.
