Charlotte Secondary School

About

Charlotte Secondary School has expanded!!! We now serve grades 6th -12th and had our 1st ever graduating class in June of 2016.

Story

CSS combines high expectations for a diverse student body with the instructional support needed for every student to reach his or her full potential. Our low student-teacher ratio enables our faculty to recognize every student as unique individuals. The makeup of Charlotte Secondary School’s student population allows us to explore the cultural composition of our county and to hold meaningful exchanges about the differences social conditions. While serving primarily as a college preparatory school, we gather students from all educational backgrounds and provide them with avenues of enrichment and study that cater to the individual needs. Ultimately our charge is to guide all students in the discovery of their own particular genius, the crucial step in a distinctive life-path.

Mission

Our students are challenged to employ critical thinking and problem solving based on ‘real world’ issues.
