Douglass Academy

Classical Charter Schools of America is an inspiring and progressive charter school that opened in August, 2013. This tuition-free, open enrollment public elementary school is conveniently located at 507 North Sixth Street Wilmington, NC 28401. We replicate the programs in place at our three sister schools - Classical Charter Schools of Leland and of Whiteville and of Southport. These model schools enroll more than 2,500 students in grades k through 8 and are widely recognized as compelling choices to conventional public education. They are consistently the highest-scoring schools in their respective counties. The primary goal of CCS-Wilmington is to provide a safe and secure environment for students to be challenged daily to perform at high levels of achievement. The certified and highly qualified teaching staff is experienced in delivering proven curricula that produce high scores in the early grades. CCS-Wilmington is a uniform school, provides free breakfast and lunch to those who qualify, and operates on a year-round school calendar with drop-off from 7:30 for classes beginning promptly at 8:00 AM until 3:30 PM. After-school care is available from 3:30 to 5:30 for homework, tutoring, and activities.
