We welcome you to Cape Fear Christian Academy. We are very happy to be a part of a school that is centered around a Christian educational environment.

In the endeavor of excellence, the faculty and staff center their curriculum instruction to produce well-rounded students with strong Christian character and conviction. We are committed to educating and maintaining a safe structured environment conducive to learning in a positive and meaningful way. All children can learn and will learn under good leadership in the school, in the classroom, and with parent and community support.
