A local group of parents with a vision for a classical Christian community school began Caldwell Academy in the fall of 1994. They sought to establish a school which would assist parents in providing children with the tools to learn for themselves in the context of a Biblical worldview.

A planning team of approximately thirty families representing thirteen area churches worked for several months to prepare for the arrival of students in August of 1995. Caldwell Academy began with sixty-three students in kindergarten through sixth grade. Classes were originally held in space rented from a local church. In the summer of 1999, the school moved to its permanent home on Horse Pen Creek Road in Northwest Greensboro.

Caldwell Academy’s current enrollment for grades K-12 is 751 students.
