Our Philosophy
As a School of Choice, we realize that many public schools are not able to offer to their students the attention they need to be successful. The Academy of Moore County offers students the ability to learn and succeed at their own pace, while maintaining the highest quality of education for young children.
Our History
The Academy of Moore County began as MAST Charter School in the education building of Christ Fellowship Church on Midland Road in Southern Pines some 20 years ago. With almost 100 students enrolled in grades 5-7, it was one of the first public charter schools in in North Carolina. In 2009 the school moved to its present facility in Aberdeen and expanded its curriculum to grades K-5. It currently enrolls 500 students.
