Providence Day School

A large independent school south of Uptown, a notable drive from South End for daily attendance.

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

Providence Day is another of the larger Charlotte-area independent schools, located well south of South End in the Providence Road corridor. It offers a full PK–12 program, but its distance from South End means it functions as a commuter choice rather than a walkable or short-drive neighborhood option.

As with all independent schools mentioned here, admission and financial details run through Providence Day's own process, entirely separate from CMS enrollment or South End's residential boundaries.
