A recent editorial in the New York Times titled “This Simple Fix Could Help Anxious Kids” makes the point that the rise in childhood anxiety may be due, in part, to shifting parental norms.

This Veterans Day, in recognition of Native American Heritage Month, we broadened our lens to teach students about heroes who often go uncelebrated: Native American veterans. 

Now that I am regularly walking to my office by going past the early school playground, I am having quite a few delightful interactions with students that, frankly, are often the highlight of my day.

We are thrilled to announce the addition of IXL, a powerhouse program that's set to revolutionize the way your kids experience math from grades 3 to 8.

If someone had told me in May that by 2025 Charlotte Prep could have new state-of-the-art lower school facilities AND have addressed other long-standing needs, I might have said that’s impossible.

We are so excited to welcome all of our students and families for the 2023-2024 school year! Check out our photo gallery for images of the first day, including lower and middle school "first day of school" portraits! And enjoy this video of our energetic first day back.

We are so proud of the Charlotte Preparatory School class of 2023! These students have shown themselves time and time again as exceptional scholars, athletes, and artists. But more importantly, they model the values of our core pillars, and that is the lifelong mark of a Prep graduate that they will carry with them.

I recognize that many current families are relatively new to our community and may not be aware of the purpose of the Board of Trustees or how it functions, so for this end-of-the-year message, I am going to review this subject.

Eight-grade graduation is right around the corner. This is an important and moving event, as it signifies an important passage in the lives of our 8th graders. They are moving on and up – leaving our school to write the next chapter of their educational story. They are more than ready for this transition and are well prepared to be successful high school students.
