Location: Concord, NC — a notable drive from South End

Cannon School is located in Concord, north of Charlotte, making it the most distant of the independent schools commonly discussed alongside South End housing searches. Families considering it from a South End address should plan for a genuinely long daily commute, not a short drive.

As with the other independent schools listed here, admission is entirely separate from CMS boundaries and runs through Cannon's own application process; tuition and current program details should be confirmed directly with the school.
