At Charlotte Prep, we believe that great work comes from people who are inspired to do their best.
As a Prek-8 school, Prep is a distinctive setting in Charlotte. One that shapes a different experience for our students and teachers. The curriculum is ambitious and demanding, but our classes are small and cozy—meaning students are challenged and cherished in equal measure. Every child is truly known, seen, and understood by our educators.
Charlotte Prep is committed to building a nurturing, inclusive culture and welcomes teachers, staff, and administrators who bring skills, qualities, and experiences that demonstrate a commitment to ensuring the Charlotte Prep mission is realized for each and every student.
