Canterbury Classical School admits students of any race, color, sex, and national or ethnic origin, to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex, or national or ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs. Canterbury Classical School does reserve the right to select students on the basis of academic performance, religious commitment, philosophical compatibility, and a willingness to cooperate with the Canterbury Classical School administration and abide by its policies. Students with special learning needs will be handled on a case by case basis, as we are not required by law to follow prescribed accommodations.

TUITION ASSISTANCE
Canterbury is delighted to participate in the North Carolina Education Assistance Authority’s programs: The Opportunity Scholarship Program and The Education Student Account Program (ESA+) (For additional information, visit www.ncseaa.edu). 2025-26 enrollment window is February 6-March 6, 2025.
Children With Special Needs
We are a small private school with limited resources compared to public schools and other larger private schools. Public schools receive additional funding for students with special needs and hire specialized staff to serve their unique needs. Canterbury Classical School does admit some students with special needs when we believe we can truly serve and educate them. Students with special learning needs will be handled on a case-by-case basis and we look forward to discussing the ability of our staff to adequately address and meet your child's needs in a typical classroom setting.
Please visit ncreportcards.org to investigate various schools' success with students who have special needs.
