Triangle Private School Options

​

In addition to public school districts, many Triangle buyers also consider access to private schools when choosing where to live. Depending on your preferred location, commute, grade levels, and educational style, buyers may look at independent, Christian, Catholic, or college-prep schools across Cary, Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill. 

Popular private school options Triangle buyers often research include Cary Academy in Cary, Ravenscroft in Raleigh, Durham Academy in Durham, Duke School in Durham, Trinity School of Durham and Chapel Hill, and St. Thomas More Academy in Raleigh. These schools vary by grade range, admissions process, academic approach, faith affiliation, and tuition structure, so it helps to compare them early in your home search.
