Providence Day School

• Private School
• CHARLOTTE, NC
• PK, K-12
• Rating 4.47 out of 5  60 reviews

Parent: PD is far more than a top notch TK-12 college prep school! It is truly a community of dedicated, attentive & engaged teachers, administrators, staff, parents & families. PD is our second home. The curriculum is rigorous, the extracurriculars are wide ranging, and mental health & student support services are exemplary. More importantly, the student service opportunities are limitless and students actively participate by choice. We chose PD due to their welcoming of diverse families, and my daughters have close friends from a wide range of backgrounds, religions, and ethnicities. My oldest daughter recently matriculated from PD to a highly selective college and hasn't missed a beat. PD prepared her to solve problems, think critically, manage her time, practice self-care and instinctively make a positive difference in the larger community. My youngest daughter at PD is thriving and discovering an intense interest in STEM activities, such as Radio Astronomy. PD is truly exceptional!...Read 60 Reviews

Charlotte Country Day School

• Private School
• CHARLOTTE, NC
• PK, K-12
• Rating 4.13 out of 5  38 reviews

Alum: Country Day is an incredible school with excellent teachers, passionate coaches, and a friendly student body. The school fosters a strong sense of community and truly cares about its faculty. Country Day also offers extra-curricular activities that provide students with the opportunity to perform at the highest levels of athletic, artistic, and academic competition. Having completed my freshman year of college, I can easily say that I was better prepared than many of my fellow first year students. Country Day is truly a college preparatory school in every sense—alums will be equipped with the skills they need to thrive in college, provided they are willing to work hard. I can’t think of a better high school to be a student athlete or developing artist or budding scientist than Country Day—the emphasis on the whole of the student is truly remarkable. With all of its strengths, its few weaknesses—bad cafeteria food and a handful of subpar administrators—don’t really register...Read 38 Reviews

Gaston Day School

• Private School
• GASTONIA, NC
• PK, K-12
• Rating 4.55 out of 5  108 reviews

Parent: Our daughter is a GDS graduate and our son a current student. While we've always been pleased with Gaston Day, we were especially thankful for the manner in which the COVID19 situation was handled. Our son missed one Monday of instruction while the faculty was being trained. From that point forward, he was online live with his teachers daily for the remainder of the school year. His academic classes, including band and pe, and all advisory groups were carried on with fidelity. In addition to whole group instruction, he was able to continue working in small groups with friends and make class presentations during this time. We experienced no "busy work." While we understand other schools may have had unavoidable technological obstacles, my husband and I were grateful for the preparation and attention to ensuring the academic year was completed in a solid learning environment. Gaston Day is one of the best decisions we've made for our family!...Read 108 Reviews

Cannon School

• Private School
• CONCORD, NC
• PK, K-12
• Rating 4 out of 5  81 reviews

Senior: Cannon does a great job preparing students for a college workload! The teachers put in the time, effort, and compassion into ensuring students are learning what they need to succeed and while the students are prone grouping in cliques at times, they overall are very friendly and have a strong sense of community. Diversity is something to be desired at Cannon, but there's a growing sense of importance about improving this fact in recent years. Overall a great school!...Read 81 Reviews

Covenant Day School

• MATTHEWS, NC
• PK, K-12
• Rating 4.2 out of 5  103 reviews

Parent: Covenant Day School has been a wonderful blessing to our family. The school community, faculty, and students hold true to a biblical worldview, academic excellence, and servant mentality. We deeply appreciate the school providing our children with such a Christ-centered approach. The main reason we chose CDS is having a desire for our children to learn the Bible to its core and apply it to all areas of their life. The teachers have a heart for God and their work. Our daughter every year says, I have the best teacher this year! But really, they all are the best. The leaders are unmatched, and despite all they have going on, they always make time for parents and students and never make you feel like like are too busy. The admissions office, is incredibly organized and also very personal, and knows each child by name and really knows them! We are honored and thrilled to be a part of the Covenant Day School Community...Read 103 Reviews

Parent: As a parent of children who has attended United Faith Christian Academy for the last seven years I have had the best experience with the teachers, facility and staff. My children have received, and continue to receive, the same level and same quality of education students receive at the larger private schools in the Charlotte area at a faction of the cost. The students that matriculate from United Faith Christian Academy move on to incredible Division I universities. Very high quality education that doesn't break the bank...Read 31 Reviews

Parent: My daughter joined BISC in the beginning of 3rd grade, she has gotten to know all of the students in the school in the past 5 years and loves the teachers and staff. They have helped her improve in her reading and writing, knowing just how to motivate her and they truly individualize their instruction to best fit the learning styles of each student. She gets to learn about the entire world and how to make an impact, even now as a student, she gets to make an impact through school organized activities. Wonderful exposure to the world around her and great experience for life!...Read 5 Reviews

SouthLake Christian Academy

• PK, K-12
• Rating 3.69 out of 5  64 reviews

Parent: My son transferred in 8th grade (he is now a Sophomore) after growing frustrated with the over-crowding and disruptive behavior in the public schools. He craved a more intimate environment and was immediately welcomed by his new classmates. We found his new friends to be exceptionally well mannered and respectful. We have found the teachers to be very committed to their faith and education. There is a strong Christian foundation and the school does a good job not only providing a good academic curriculum but also a good focus on developing good character. The school is very responsive and supportive to the kids and families (it took me a while to get used to dealing with people with common sense and friendliness-I had forgotten that was possible). We have found the school to provide the type of education, we all want for our kids, without an elitist feel and the comfort of knowing we are teaching our kids about school, life and faith!...Read 64 Reviews

She has grown into such an inspiring, thoughtful and exceptional adult under the guidance and education that she has received at HGCS. My other 2 children are also students at HGCS and are receiving the same exceptional Christ centered education. Christian education is money well spent!
