Summerfield Charter Academy is a tuition-free public charter school in North Carolina serving students in grades K-8. We shape instruction to build on the strengths and abilities of each student and integrate Moral Focus™ lessons into every school day. As a result, our students are well-prepared from kindergarten through eighth grade. A Stanford University study found National Heritage Academies partner-school students gained the equivalent of 3.5 months of additional learning each year compared to peers.

I love that Summerfield goes above and beyond to make sure their students succeed. They encourage the kids in various ways such as small innotives, hand written notes, and certificates. This goes a long way!.
