ACADEMICS
The Academy's bilingual, multicultural curriculum integrates the North Carolina Standard Course of Study with the National Greek Curriculum Standards, offering a comprehensive education in language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, physical education, art, music, and Greek culture. Developed by the Socrates Academy Curriculum Committee, including distinguished UNC Charlotte faculty, it is a research-based, innovative program.
​
Students from diverse backgrounds thrive here, with no prior knowledge of Greek required, though early enrollment is recommended for maximum benefit. Instruction employs the Socratic Method, emphasizing critical thinking, high academic quality, and a strong focus on mathematics, reading, writing, character development, and early second language learning.

NC DPI's Portrait of a Graduate
​
The Portrait ensures that North Carolina students are well equipped for the broadest range of postsecondary opportunities, be it college, career, or military.
Now, more than ever, a student’s learning experiences must include the acquisition of rigorous academic content and the durable skills and mindsets students need to thrive in the post-secondary plan of their choice. The North Carolina Portrait of a Graduate allows for both, leading to deeper student learning and skill attainment required in an ever-changing world.
The Portrait shows us that student academic success matters, but so does a student’s ability to adapt, to collaborate, to communicate, to think critically, to show empathy, to learn, and to take personal responsibility.
