After a 10 year absence, the Flora Macdonald Academy name is back in business! It feels great to have our historic name back on the campus and we are already enrolling students for the 2026-27 school year. More details about this change will be forthcoming.
If you haven't paid a recent visit to campus, please stop by when you have a chance. We have a new standing seam copper roof on the Auditorium Wing and Dome, flawlessly installed by Highland Roofing of Wilmington. The auditorium porch is a work in progress, with the roof and ceiling structure having been totally reconstructed. Several hundred windows have been restored thanks to the generosity of National Park Service. The main front porch columns are currently under repair and the interior of the chapel has been refurbished following hurricane damage. Major interior structural repairs have been made to the dome. Work should begin fairly soon to completely restore the auditorium and conservatory hall below it, as well as the Rotunda and Parlor areas. Finally, the monument on the graves of Flora Macdonald's children interred on the campus has been restored in recognition of the US Semiquincentennial celebrations and looks great. We still have a long way to go, but things are definitely happening. When you're out and about travelling this summer stop by and see our progress!
