Inquire and Tour

At Cape Cod Academy, values really matter.

On the playing field; at the front of the classroom; from the music stage; in the halls: friendliness, trust, and genuine respect abound here. We encourage our students to know themselves and to be curious about others, and we consistently turn out graduating seniors who impress admissions committees with both their college readiness and their compassion.
