Doral Academy of North Carolina

"This school is not interested in the kids reaching their best self. If your child falls behind there is NO PLAN for remediation, you have to figure that out completely on your own outside of the school, while the teachers tell you “they are fine, they will get it after while and put zero’s on their assignments”. Seems like a way to weed out children who would make the school’s scores go down. My children were sent home loads of homework, 2 worksheets every single day and these were heavy worksheets, that required multiple steps. Also had spelling tests and sight word tests every other week, very intense for kindergarten. I saw my daughter’s love for learning dwindle quickly. Administration treated the kids like they were in a military or something “Walk faster, hurry up” sickening. School was new and classrooms were small, so no social distancing at all. Edited to add: I was very involved in my children’s education. There were multiple meetings with the teachers. There were NO further interventions that they provided or recommended in addition to small groups."

"I cannot recommend this school enough to families! Our children are happy and engaged daily. They are receiving a well-rounded education complete with a STEAM curriculum, learning a second language, and making memories with friends. The staff and administration have welcomed us with open arms and have provided a loving environment. This is a great school for families who want their children to learn how to think outside the box while setting them up for a bright future."

"We have had a wonderful experience with Doral Academy of NC! Though a new school, the admin team knows what they are doing as they came well-versed from South Florida Doral Prep. Every level of employee here has the children’s best interest at heart. Our child’s emotional and academic health has grown leaps already. We have recommended Doral to everyone we know!"

"We applied to Doral based on a very informative virtual open house and the curriculum is what really sold us on the school. My kindergartener went from knowing grade level sight words to being able to read (Level 2 readers) independently within the first 4 months. She thoroughly enjoys her teachers and all her classes. I have been impressed with communication from administration and their willingness to listen to feedback from families. I highly recommend."

"Doral Academy is an excellent and well recognized school with a great STEAM curriculum. The staff (teachers, teacher assistants, administrators) are superb and very caring. There are various locations, all of which are highly rated. I recommend Doral Academy."
