Cape Fear Academy is a private, coeducational PK3-12 school in Wilmington, North Carolina school that was established in July 1968 as segregation academy.[1][2] It was named for the original Cape Fear Academy, an independent school for boys in Wilmington that operated from 1868 until 1916. The present school's first class graduated in 1971.

History

The school was founded as a segregation academy in response to the court ordered integration of public schools. In 1967, the civil rights activist Lee Shelton claimed that Ku Klux Klan was raising funds to establish Cape Fear Academy as a private school for white students.[1][3][4][5]

In 2005, the student body voted to change the school's athletic's team name from The Rebels to The Hurricanes.[6]

Facilities

In the present enrollment model, there is one Prekindergarten(ages 3.5 to 5) of 18 students, and Kindergarten through Grade 5 classes have two sections of 20 students each. Middle School (grades 6-8) and Upper School (grades 9-12) academic sections are composed of no more than 25 students{{citation needed|date=November 2017}}, with up to 75 students enrolled in each of those grades. Cape Fear Academy has had a stable enrollment; 93% of its students re-enrolled after the 2009-2010 school year{{citation needed|date=November 2017}}.

The school is situated on a {{convert| 27|acre|ha|spell=in}} campus. Present facilities include two classroom buildings, a gymnasium with six classrooms, and the Beane-Wright Student Center, as well as athletic fields and a tennis facility. Additionally, athletic fields, including a synthetic-turf field and the John B. Meehl Field House are located across from the campus entrance on College Road on a {{convert |9|acre|ha|spell=in}} tract.

Accreditation

Cape Fear Academy is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and also by the Southern Association of Independent Schools. The school is also an active member of the National Association of Independent Schools, the Southern Association of Independent Schools, the North Carolina Association of Independent Schools, the Educational Records Bureau, the Independent School Management Consortium, and the College Entrance Examination Board. Cape Fear Academy offers two types of financial aid: need-based and merit. Approximately 18% of the student body receives some type of financial aid{{citation needed|date=November 2017}}, with the bulk of the awards benefiting students in the Middle and Upper School.{{citation needed|date=November 2017}}

Student Activities

Beginning in seventh grade, students may participate in interscholastic athletics. Approximately 89% of the Middle School students play at least one sport during their tenure. In Upper School, about 93% of the student body plays on at least one team{{citation needed|date=November 2017}} and 60% participate in two or more sports.{{citation needed|date=November 2017}} The athletic program makes it possible for all students to have an opportunity in at least one sport per season.

Upper School has an extensive list of clubs for students ranging from the Beta Club and the Diversity Club to the Surfing Club. Students are encouraged to create clubs where there are groups of interest and a faculty sponsor.

The Upper School has theater program. Approximately 30% of the student body participates in drama as performers or in technology support.{{citation needed|date=November 2017}} Drama presentations include a range of original and well-known pieces from Shakespeare to musical theater. Performances are held on campus, as well as in local community venues, such as Thalian Hall.

The Upper School has an active student-government association, which includes a branch devoted to community service. Students in Upper School must complete 72 hours of service. One of the student-government vice presidents is charged with facilitating this part of student life{{citation needed|date=November 2017}}. A student judicial council makes recommendations for disciplinary infractions.
