A note from Chris Marblo
Thank you for your interest in Charlotte Prep!
We encourage you to spend time on our website exploring all that makes our school the special place it is, but to truly experience the Prep difference we invite you to visit us in person. When you do, you will see a community of engaged, joyful, and confident students who love to learn and are nurtured by a faculty who are fully committed to the power and promise of teaching children and adolescents.
The PreK-8 structure of our school is one of our signature strengths. It provides us with a singular focus: we are a school for children, be they at the beginning of their Prep journey, or ready to graduate as the confident, capable, and prepared students they are.
Students thrive at Prep because they are known, loved, and challenged while we build the foundation that will serve them so well when they move on to high school, college, and beyond. Our school is friendly, supportive, and connected, and we celebrate the infinite value of each student while emphasizing the importance of community, character, and compassion.
We welcome your visit and are excited to share our school with you.
Warmly,
Chris Marblo
Head of School
