He would have been very bored in a public school setting. At Southpoint Academy, the teachers have worked with him and allowed him to pursue his intellectual interests whenever feasible to keep him engaged in the classroom. They are also interested in him as a person, and encourage him in his extracurricular activities. The staff at Southpoint Academy cares about the whole child, not just his/her academic progress.

We initially enrolled our son at Southpoint Academy four years ago because our house was on the market (we lived in south Durham at the time), and we were not happy with the school system in Durham and needed a school for him until we moved into a new system. We were so pleased that, even though we now live 30 miles away and are in what many would consider to be a “better” school system, we kept him enrolled and then enrolled our daughter when she reached school age.
