Shining Rock Classical Academy is Haywood County’s only free public charter school. We offer a small, community-school environment and a rigorous college-preparatory education to students in grades K–12. The school embraces a knowledge-centric curriculum, evidence-based instructional practices, and experiential field work as the heart of its teaching and learning experience. We invite you to tour our school and find out why Falcons soar.

It's a Great Day to Be A Falcon

“The commitment and passion of the teachers and faculty at SRCA are second to none. Our children have thrived both academically and personally by developing into more disciplined students and compassionate teenagers. As parents, joining the SRCA family was the best decision we’ve made for our children.”

– Ashley and Bruce Shapiro, Parents
