BRUNSWICK COUNTY ACADEMY

Brunswick County Academy is a Title I public high school that is part of the Brunswick County Schools school district, located in Bolivia, NC with about 133 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 18 teachers, Brunswick County Academy has a student/teacher ratio of about 7:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Brunswick County Academy, located in Bolivia, North Carolina, serves as an alternative educational setting within the Brunswick County School system. The school is specifically designed to provide a supportive and structured environment for students who may struggle in a traditional classroom setting or who require specialized interventions to get back on track academically. By offering smaller class sizes and a more personalized approach, the academy focuses on helping students overcome behavioral or academic challenges, build resilience, and successfully fulfill their graduation requirements.

The mission of Brunswick County Academy centers on student success through individualized instruction and the development of essential life and social skills. Beyond academics, the school emphasizes a positive school culture, encouraging students to take responsibility for their educational journey and personal growth. By fostering strong relationships between faculty and students, the academy strives to bridge the gap for those at risk of dropping out, ultimately preparing them for graduation and their next steps in career or post-secondary education.
