Our PreK-8 structure is a time-honored and research-proven model that celebrates every stage from early childhood through middle school, honoring the opportunities for learning and growth inherent in each moment and at every age. At Charlotte Prep, our students stay a step removed from the presence and pressures of high school, allowing them to be children a little longer—to unabashedly embrace the simple joys of friendship, discovery, and play. They are also empowered to be leaders a little sooner, with our middle schoolers modeling responsibility, confidence, and kindness for their younger schoolmates.
