The Carolina Academy's athletic program offers students an opportunity to become a part of something bigger than the individual. Athletics allow students to meet and overcome challenges both physically and mentally. Participation in athletics provides an excellent opportunity for molding character and building lasting friendships. What sets athletics at The Carolina Academy apart from others is the support of the parents, grandparents, alumn, and community friends. Academics come first, therefore student-athletes must learn to manage their time wisely between athletics and their studies. Student athletes must maintain a proficient academic average or they will not be allowed to practice or play with their team. The Carolina Academy submits that academics and athletics are actually complementary of each other and not exclusive of one another.
