When students enter our classrooms, they find the challenge of a college preparatory, traditional liberal

arts curriculum. They also find teachers who are passionate about what they teach and are completely

invested in their students. Our intent is for our students to realize their highest intellectual and creative potential by learning to think critically and independently. We hope to guide them toward a lifelong love of

learning, the self-awareness necessary to make conscious choices, and a deep sense of integrity  and honesty.

 

Our classes are small. Highlander Academy teachers know their students well and keep their classroom doors open for questions and help. This individual attention and encouragement creates self-assurance, and not only gives our students the support to succeed, but also the desire.

 

The Highlander Academy curriculum follows the North Carolina Standard Course of Study.  Our faculty is encouraged to include additional materials, speakers, and field trips that will enhance and complement the standard texts.   In each discipline, we offer a broad selection of classes.  Study halls and the availability of

our highly qualified faculty provide additional opportunities for guidance and support.
