But the most extraordinary aspect is Charlotte Prep's culture of mutual respect: from day one, the school fosters the 4 pillars of leadership: Respect (treat others exactly how you want to be treated), Integrity (honesty, high values and standards), Perseverance and Courage (building inner strength to face life's challenges).

We love this school! Our two children are thriving in the small environment and love to learn the accelerated curriculum. (What more can a parent ask for?) No school is perfect, but Charlotte Prep is perfect for our family.

I must address the prior review. All small independent schools do not experience the changes that CPS. CPS struggled with turnover and inability to retain students and faculty even when the economy was at it strongest. The problem lies within management decision by the owner of this for profit school.

I continue to be pleased with CPS. My kids have been extremely happy and successful academically there.

Like the reviewer from August 13th, I would urge all prospective parents to read all the reviews posted here. Having had 10 years of experience at CPS, I can tell that many of these reviews are quite accurate. The turnover of both families and faculty has been an issue with CPS since 1999. The direction

Wow, that last review reads like a marketing pamphlet. If you want to read one that is accurate, see the one posted July 15, 2009 (and others like it). The direction the head is taking this school is why we aren't returning this year. The small school environment is great, as others mentioned, but CPS

That, coupled with the lack of any real creative extra-curricular activities sealed it. You can pay less for other private schools in the area that offer much more to their students. Read less

Best PK-8th grade school in the area. Your child won't be lost here. Everyone will know their name. The children can be kids here too and they are refreshingly wholesome. The curriculum is fun and fast moving. It appeals to many learning styles and critical thinking is encouraged and valued above rote

One eighth grade student received an Honor's Scholarship to McCallie School in Tennessee for four years. The kids in this school are amazing. The teachers and staff are passionate and caring. My three children have enjoyed this exceptional community with its commitment to academics, character development and leadership in a community where diversity is evident. Read less

My child attended CPS for 4 years and although most of the teachers were excellent, the school's Director did not really know how to run a school. I see that she is no longer the Head of School now, but as the owner (this is a for-profit school), she will undoubtedly determine the course of things.

Then the very best teachers were let go, and the school just went down hill. We left CPS the next year and are much more confident now of the educational program being offered to our child. Read less
