Charlotte Country Day School

A long-established independent school south of Uptown, requiring a drive from South End.

Type: private
Grades: PK–12
Location: South Charlotte, a drive from South End

Charlotte Country Day is one of the region's oldest independent schools, with a full PK–12 program located south of Uptown. Like other independent schools on this list, it's a meaningful drive from South End rather than a neighborhood-adjacent option, and families should weigh that commute against the school's program before committing.

Admission runs through the school's own independent application process, and prospective families should reach out directly for current tuition, timelines, and any transportation options rather than relying on secondhand information.
