Student demographics can be found below. 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 106 teachers, Voyager Academy has a student/teacher ratio of about 12:1. 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.

Voyager Academy, located in Durham, North Carolina, is a K-12 public charter school founded on the principle of "expeditionary learning." The school emphasizes a hands-on, project-based curriculum that encourages students to engage deeply with their community and the natural world. By integrating rigorous academics with character development and collaborative problem-solving, Voyager Academy aims to foster critical thinkers who are prepared to take an active role in their education and future careers.

The school is organized into three distinct levels—Elementary, Middle, and High School—each designed to build upon the foundation laid in the previous years. Throughout their time at Voyager, students participate in "expeditions" or long-term investigations that connect classroom lessons to real-world issues. With a strong focus on student voice, leadership, and a supportive campus culture, Voyager Academy provides a unique educational alternative that prioritizes both academic achievement and the development of well-rounded, socially responsible individuals.
