Carolina Community Academy Every child, every day

Carolina Community Academy (CCA) is an innovative school for K-2 students at North Elementary School in Roxboro, N.C. A partnership between the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Person County Schools, CCA draws upon a variety of academic and professional strengths across the Carolina campus to best serve the students, families, and community in Person County. CCA was created as part of a UNC System initiative to redefine and strengthen university partnerships with North Carolina public schools, improve student outcomes, and provide high quality teacher and principal training.

Enrollment

Kindergarten students entering North Elementary are automatically enrolled in the Carolina Community Academy — no additional registration is required beyond standard kindergarten enrollment. After completing second grade at CCA, students transition back to North Elementary and continue in Person County Schools for grades 3–5. This transition is seamless and does not require any additional paperwork from families. For enrollment support, contact us.
