History
In 1994 a group of families in Greensboro, North Carolina sought to establish a private school that would teach their kids from a Biblical stance. The name Caldwell Academy was derived from the life of David Caldwell, a Greensboro native. In 1995 the school opened in the fall with 63 students ranging from kindergarten to 6th grade. The school was originally operating out of rented space at a local Church until its move to a permanent location in the summer of 1999. The permanent location started off with "Founders Hall" and "Smith Building" along with some modulars. Over the summer of 2007 a new grammar building, "Munchkin Hall" was built and K-5 was moved to the new building. Later that year they finished the construction of a new athletic facility equipped with a multi-purpose field, and a baseball diamond.

“We don’t know when our name came into being or how some distant ancestor acquired it. We don’t understand our name at all, we don’t know its history and yet we bear it with exalted fidelity, we merge with it, we like it, we are ridiculously proud of it as if we had thought it up ourselves in a moment of brilliant inspiration.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
