Welcome Letter

Dear Parents, Families, and Friends of Classical Charter Schools of America:

Welcome to our 2025-2026 North Carolina School Report Cards! Here, you can find information on our school’s student achievement, safety, teacher quality, attendance, class size, technology resources, and parental involvement.

All four public charter schools in the Classical Charter Schools of America (CCS-America) network are managed by The Roger Bacon Academy, Inc. (RBA) which provides students with a robust classical curriculum taught using a teaching method centered around students finding joy in learning. This unique curriculum includes coursework in Latin, Cursive, and Grammar, subjects rarely taught in other schools. Our public schools of choice do not implement NC Common Core. Instead, our schools remain committed and work to advance the mission of providing the highest quality educational experience in a safe, clean, and morally strong environment, as we have for the past 26 years. Our teaching method allows for joy to be created in the classroom and is based on our Three Laws, the first of which is “Reward good behavior- you’ll get more of it.”

CCS-America schools are tuition-free, top-ranked, open enrollment public charter schools that welcome all students, regardless of address, income, or ability. The family of schools include Classical Charter Schools of Leland, Classical Charter Schools of Southport, Classical Charter Schools of Whiteville, and Classical Charter Schools of Wilmington. All four campuses are classified as Title I schools. Our schools have received numerous awards, including designations as a “Top 25 School for Academic Growth” and an “Honors School of Excellence” in the state of North Carolina. Students from CCS-America campuses have placed first in the state in the Sons of the American Revolution youth history contests in both 2025 and 2026.

Nationally, CCS-America received the designation of 2024-2025 “Star School” from the National Institute for Direct Instruction. CCS-America is one of only three schools/networks to be awarded this recognition nationwide. Our campuses also ranked top of the country in the CLT-8 (Classical Learning Test 8), a test that evaluates a student’s readiness for high school. CCS-Leland tied for first place in the nation, while CCS-Whiteville tied for third. Both CCS-Leland and CCS-Whiteville were named ‘Beta Schools of Distinction’ for the 2025-2026 year.

For the 2025-2026 school year, our family of schools continued to outperform averages for the State of North Carolina and the counties in which we serve. CCS-Wilmington met growth in Reading and increased Science proficiency by nearly 9 points. CCS-Whiteville met growth in Reading and CCS-Leland met growth in Math, while CCS-Southport met growth in both subjects. We are incredibly proud of all our students and staff for the hard work and dedication that led to these impressive results.

Beyond academics, CCS-America offers students opportunities to participate in a range of extracurricular activities, including a 36-time National Champion cheer squad, a seven-time State Champion archery program, Beta Club, Science Olympiad, and more. Middle schoolers enjoy a full sports program (including soccer, basketball, baseball, and softball) as well as electives designed to help them explore and develop new skills (including drama, music, computer programming, and more).

CCS-America’s total enrollment has continued to grow, as our campuses now serve around 2,500 students. This growth reflects our priorities of providing a safe environment, character education, and academic excellence.

Our annual Open Enrollment period for all campuses begins December 1^st for the 2027-2028 school year. For more information or questions regarding this report card, please visit rogerbaconacademy.com or contact the RBA corporate office at 910.655.3600.
