With a mission

Chapel Hill Academy is a tuition-free public charter school operated by Lena Pope, a local nonprofit that has been working with children and families since 1930 to equip children, families, caregivers, and community with a strong foundation. We believe each child can achieve great things when they are encouraged to learn in ways that work for them. Chapel Hill Academy is opening the door to this success by fostering young minds for a bright future!

At Chapel Hill Academy, students are taught about the importance of college at a young age. Studies have shown that college readiness and academic perseverance is largely based on how well students can utilize their critical thinking skills. CHA staff want to ensure that there is no question — college is an attainable goal, and students should be well-prepared to become critical thinkers at an early age.
