Academics

It was the vision of our founder, Dr. Joseph Moylan that Durham Nativity School would provide a learning environment for eligible middle school boys in grades fifth through eighth.  Dr. Moylan envisioned a program in Durham to support students in their personal, social, moral, and intellectual development, as well as position them to be successful in college-preparatory high schools and beyond.

Durham Nativity promotes an academic program that fosters excellence in traditional liberal arts disciplines. Through an extended day and school year, we provide opportunities for students to engage in activities that promote sound physical and mental health, artistic achievement, and character development guided by a faculty and staff who believe in each student as an individual.
