Leadership & Vision

Welcome from Our Head of School

Welcome to Cape Cod Academy!

As Head of School, I am proud to lead a community where meaningful relationships are at the heart of our mission – empowering every individual to grow, learn, and thrive. At Cape Cod Academy, our personalized approach, innovative teaching methods, and hands-on learning experiences ignite a passion for life-long learning. The individual attention each student receives helps them learn more, discover more, and become more.

Across our campus, students flourish in their small classes and shine in athletics and the arts. With the support of our dedicated faculty and staff, every student is empowered to reach their full potential in an environment that values collaboration, creativity, and curiosity. Each day, our teachers create vibrant, engaging spaces where students feel inspired to explore, question, and become the best version of themselves.

We believe that a strong community built on kindness and trust enables students not only to excel academically but also to flourish personally. Our faculty form deep connections with their students because they care about their dreams, their challenges, and their growth. They ask about the big game or last night’s performance, proudly display student artwork, celebrate their accomplishments, and relish in their laughter and good deeds. They live out the Mission of our school and embody our Core Values of Scholarship, Integrity, Compassion, and Respect.

Guided by these values, CCA students are encouraged to pursue their passions in the classroom and beyond, while developing the intellectual and social skills to become confident, independent, and successful leaders of tomorrow.

Our faculty, staff, and students are what make Cape Cod Academy truly exceptional. I invite you to visit us and experience firsthand the energy, warmth, and sense of purpose that define our school community. We cannot wait to welcome you to our beautiful campus – and to life as a CCA Seahawk!

Warmly,

Julie A. Salit
