From the Principal

Erika Moore

Thank you for your interest in Chesterbrook Academy. We are a top private school in Raleigh, North Carolina. Since 1995, we have provided exceptional private education from 3 years through 5th grade. Parents love our warm and enthusiastic teachers, personalized approach to each child’s needs, and rigorous curriculum.

At our school, our teachers bring learning to life with creativity. They tailor lessons to ensure that they are stimulating, challenging, and meet the learning style of each child. We believe that a complete private education goes beyond core subjects. This is why we also offer classes in art, music and drama, STEM, Spanish, and physical education.

Our curriculum is built on engaging content that instills a lifelong love of learning. We take field trips to help our students make real-world connections with the lessons they learn in the classroom. We have visited the North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher, the North Carolina Zoo, and the Kaleideum Museum.

Children receive the best possible education when parents are involved. We offer various ways to stay connected, including weekly e-newsletters, classroom web pages, and teacher emails. Effective communication is a cornerstone of our school community.

Please feel free to contact us to schedule a private tour. I look forward to meeting you, learning about your child’s educational needs, and talking about how we can work together to meet them.

Sincerely,
Erika Moore
Principal
