FORGING THE FUTURE AT IRON ACADEMY

Iron Academy was founded in 2013 as a 6th–12th-grade all-male school. We believe following Christ is the defining quality of a family, and the commitment to build a son into a Godly young man is a priority above all else in making that a reality. So much of the world is fighting against our young men and we’re here to fight for them, because God designed them for so much more.

Today: A faithful follower of Christ and a true gentleman. Tomorrow: A Godly husband and a strong, loving father. Iron Academy is your family’s ally and we’re devoted to helping families forge boys into Godly men. We invite you to tour our newly purchased campus in the heart of Raleigh, where your child will be loved, encouraged, inspired and forged to be all God created him to be.

Your calling is our calling. Together, we build men!

SAINT MARY’S SCHOOL EMPOWERS YOUNG WOMEN TO LEAD

At Saint Mary’s School, we challenge girls academically to be BOLD, to be INSPIRED, to be PREPARED and to become EXTRAORDINARY.

Never before has there been a moment when women’s education has been so important. We need to hear women’s voices as leaders, scientists, engineers, advocates, politicians … the list goes on. Research shows that in all-girl learning environments, young women are free to discover and use their voices, speak without interruption and feel empowered to become bold leaders. Self-confidence is built through the occupation of leadership roles at all levels.

In our all-girls learning environment, we create a culture of achievement where no stereotypes about how girls excel—or what they like—exist. We also champion girls’ educational needs as a group currently underrepresented in STEM majors and careers.

Since 1842, Saint Mary’s School has inspired girls to step outside their comfort zones, engage their minds, amplify their voices, and discover who they are and who they want to become. Our students graduate with stronger academic skills, demonstrate higher self-confidence in science, display higher levels of cultural competency, express stronger community involvement and exhibit increased political engagement.

ST. TIMOTHY’S SCHOOL PREPARES STUDENTS FOR A LIFETIME OF LEARNING

At St. Timothy’s School, we believe the foundation for a life of integrity, service and purpose begins with smaller, everyday moments. We educate intentionally in each moment—a thought-provoking conversation in language arts, a first try at a new technique in art class or a hardfought game on the athletic field.

We cherish every opportunity for our students to demonstrate compassion, to solve problems with diligence and creativity, to learn through a lens of both faith and reason, and to build the confidence and skills that will prepare students for all that life’s journey holds. Our St. Timothy’s community knows that every moment matters, because it all starts here. “Since coming to St. Timothy’s School, my children have blossomed in their educational journey. The teachers keep learning fun, exciting and hands-on, so my children are intrigued and interested in what they learn. St. Timothy’s emphasizes being polite, courteous and respectful to others as well as being a kind, caring person. My children thrive in this environment, and we are so grateful for St. Timothy’s and all it offers.” —Casey Hale, mother of a St. Timothy’s 6th-grader, 7th-grader and 2021 alumni

TRINITY ACADEMY: EQUIPPING STUDENTS FOR THE MODERN WORLD

At Trinity Academy, we seek to glorify God through Christ-centered classical education. Knowing Christ as the One in whom “all things hold together” (Colossians 1:17) emboldens us to investigate history, literature, philosophy, science, theology and mathematics as potential expressions of worship that are as varied as they are unified. We joyfully pursue our mission to equip students to live with wisdom, excellence and purpose in the modern world by offering an education grounded in the Christian faith and the classical tradition.

Trinity Academy is a training ground where future researchers, government officials and business leaders are learning to integrate their thoughtful Christian worldview with their aspirations. Our community is unified as we prepare young people to be lifelong learners who can evaluate life with precision, because they live with conviction. In partnership with parents, students, faculty and churches, we will deliver the very best education possible: a classical, Christcentered education that highlights the true, the good and the beautiful.

MONTESSORI SCHOOL OF RALEIGH INSPIRES CURIOSITY AND DISCOVERY

The Montessori School of Raleigh practices the Montessori method established by renowned educator Dr. Maria Montessori. Serving children ages 15 months through 12th grade, children begin by building foundational skills through a rich, hands-on curriculum. In the elementary grades, students build on that foundation and grow as independent and confident learners. A project-based approach has middle school students working collaboratively to explore more advanced subject matter. In high school, students transition to the International Baccalaureate program, a rigorous, global-focused, college-preparatory curriculum.

MSR inspires curiosity and discovery while providing children of all ages with the building blocks they need for every step of their journey.
