At Chesterbrook Academy Cary, we believe in laying a strong foundation for lifelong learning, starting in our Pre-K program. Our carefully designed curriculum ensures that children develop essential skills that will prepare them for kindergarten and beyond. From following rules and listening to teachers to fostering friendships and showing respect, our students learn in an engaging, nurturing environment.
A recent survey revealed that 95% of our Pre-K families feel their child is ready for kindergarten, especially if they started at our school by age two. This confidence stems from our comprehensive approach to early childhood education, which includes:
- Literacy Development – Students begin learning letter sounds and sight words, strengthening their reading readiness skills.
- Mathematical Foundations – Our curriculum includes basic math skills such as number recognition, counting, and simple problem-solving.
- Exploration of the World – Children engage with maps, globes, and fun science experiments that inspire curiosity and a love for learning.
- Creative Play – Through imaginative activities and role-playing, students enhance their social and cognitive development.

Chesterbrook Academy Cary offers an exceptional private school experience from kindergarten through eighth grade. Our school is recognized for outstanding academics, individualized attention, and strong partnerships among parents, teachers, students, and staff. Our instructional approach is built around the following core themes:
Core Curriculum
We provide a technology-rich curriculum in essential subjects such as language arts, mathematics, social studies, science, foreign language, and the arts. Our program is designed to be stimulating, challenging, and aligned with 21st-century educational standards.
Personalized Learning
Every student receives a Personal Learning Plan, which sets annual goals in academics, life skills, and career development. These plans help track progress beyond traditional report cards, ensuring a well-rounded educational experience.
21st Century Skills
While academic content remains at the core of our program, we also emphasize skills essential for future success. Our teachers design lessons that foster communication, collaboration, and creativity, ensuring students develop the ability to think critically and work effectively in a rapidly changing world.
STEM Program
Starting in kindergarten, our students actively participate in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) projects. These hands-on learning experiences promote decision-making, innovation, and problem-solving skills, setting students up for future success in science and technology fields.
Service Learning
Through our Giving Without Walls service learning projects, students connect with the community and apply their knowledge to real-world issues. Each year, students take on new projects that enhance their understanding of civic responsibility and global interconnectivity.
Specialty Classes
In addition to core academics, we offer a variety of specialty classes to cultivate well-rounded students. Our programs include Spanish, art, music, technology, and physical education, providing students with opportunities to explore their interests and talents.
Additional Programs
We understand the importance of flexibility for families, which is why we offer before and after care programs as well as engaging summer camps. These programs provide students with extended learning opportunities, social development, and fun activities beyond the regular school day.
At Chesterbrook Academy Cary, we are committed to fostering a love for learning, critical thinking, and personal growth.
