Why we need your help

As a public charter school, Dogwood Classical Academy will receive funding from the state of North Carolina for school operations. This funding does not begin until after our school opening in fall 2024. Thus, Dogwood Classical Academy will incur significant expenses prior to opening that are not eligible for reimbursement, nor are otherwise funded.


Dogwood Classical Academy Capital Fund

Thank you for your support of Dogwood Classical Academy. Our mission is to develop students in mind and character through a rigorous, classical, content-rich curriculum that emphasizes the principles of academic fundamentals, virtuous living, and civic responsibility.

Our Capital Fund will allow prospective parents and community members to donate funds which will be used to cover the funding gaps identified during our pre-opening phase including: curriculum, furniture, supplies, professional development and training, teacher recruiting and facility improvements.
