Admissions

Applying to Be a CCA Student
As Central Carolina Academy continues to expand to full enrollment capacity over several years, there are still seats available in some grade levels. Anyone interested in attending CCA in the upcoming school year should complete the online application which starts with creating a Lotterease account. Please enter all required information carefully to ensure accuracy.
Once an application has been submitted, families will receive a confirmation email from Central_Carolina_Academy@lotterease.com within 24 hours of submission. If not, please check spam and junk folders and update settings to allow emails from this sender.
Applicants will be notified by email if a seat is available or of their placement on the waitlist. Accepted students will have a specified period to respond to their acceptance letter.
Current CCA students do not have to reapply.
For more information or for assistance in applying, contact Director of Admissions, Julia-Brent Milholen by email or phone (919-930-8058).
