Building purchase will enable North Carolina charter school to add high school grades

Capitol Encore Academy, a K-8 charter school in Fayetteville, N.C., will begin offering a high school program this fall.

The school bought a 30,000-square-foot building last year near the school for $1.15 million, reports The Fayetteville Observer.

The additional space will enable the school to increase enrollment by nearly 150 students. The school will add ninth and 10th grades this year, and are aiming to add 11th and 12th grade classes in 2024.  

The academy opened in 2014 as a K-5 school. Its main facility is a former department store in downtown Fayetteville.
