Charlotte Lab School

Charlotte Lab School Charlotte Lab School is a K-12 tuition-free public charter school located in Uptown Charlotte.

The Charlotte Lab School is designed to meet the needs of 21st century students and is built upon the following core values:

Authentic learning: Students learn best through meaningful, hands-on learning experiences that resemble the “real world”;

Individualization and Personalization: Students learn better when they are known by their teachers and when their school meets them where they are, ena

bling them to learn in different ways and at different paces;

Global Awareness and Bilingualism: Students must learn skills that will enable them to communicate and collaborate with diverse groups of people;

Metacognitive Skill Development: Students need to understand themselves as learners in order to adapt in today’s rapidly changing world; and

Innovation: Students’ needs must drive school improvement. Our approach utilizes a small, nurturing environment, where students will have the opportunity to participate in:

Solving real-world problems, alongside experts, through Challenge Based Learning;

Getting to know each other and themselves through our Advisory Program;

Using the City and greenspaces as their expanded classroom through our Community Partnerships;

Learning a second language – Mandarin or Spanish; and

Exploring their interests and learning new skills through our Enrichment Programs.
