Charter and independent options
Families also explore charter and independent schools across Union County and southeast Charlotte. Admission, transportation, tuition, and calendars differ, so compare the complete daily routine—not only the school profile.

Questions worth asking
Ask how transportation works, what after-school care is available, how extracurricular travel affects the week, and whether future enrollment changes are planned. A school can be nearby on a map and still create a difficult daily route.
