Charlotte Preparatory School is a college preparatory, coeducational day school. The school was founded in 1971 as Charlotte Montessori School, and it later moved to its current southeast Charlotte location in 1992. With the addition of the Middle School, the name of the school was changed to Charlotte Preparatory School in 1998 to reflect our philosophy. Charlotte Preparatory School provides an extraordinary educational experience founded on academic excellence, character development, and leadership in a culturally diverse community.
