Durham's Research Triangle Academy is a member of National Heritage Academies. We believe in a structured academic environment for our elementary and middle school. Our program not only supports state standards, but provides a unique college-bound approach that delivers the specific knowledge and skills students are expected to master in each subject area at each grade level.

At Research Triangle Academy, we share in your desire to develop a child’s heart as well as his or her mind. As a result, we’ve designed a unique moral focus program that works to support our parents’ efforts to instill character in their children by reinforcing and demonstrating universal virtues such as integrity, wisdom, courage, and respect.

At Research Triangle Academy, parents are an integral part of their child's education. In many ways, they are as important as the teachers themselves. Our environment encourages parents to take an active role in partnership with the school.
