Charlotte Latin School

Absolute worst place to be. I reviewed the school a couple of months ago and surprisingly it is no longer there! This was the worst experience I think any child could imagine to have. Some of the teachers are genuine and caring, but for the most part they are extremely strict for no reason and it seems like they love talking behind everyone’s backs. The administration is awful and the kids are even worse. So much cheating happens at this school it’s unreal - and the school’s “honor code” is their core value: “Honor above all”. I did not have a single test experience where there was no cheating going on nearby, and usually it was so obvious I was shocked the teachers did not do anything about it. Absolutely horrible overpriced school with cliques and very little diversity. Racism everywhere and bullying to the point where at other schools kids would be kicked out immediately. I would strongly advise you not to send your child here. Hopefully this review does not magically disappear...

We have now had our Charlotte Chess Center program at Latin for 3 years. Freya Hamilton does a great job with enrichment activities.

Wow! I am sorry to hear this about your daughter's experience, but this does not sound like the Charlotte Latin that I know and love. When I think of Latin, I think of a school community that fosters a love of learning, encourages students to put others' interests above their own, and embraces the differences and diversity of its student body. My favorite part about Latin is how much the faculty and administration are individually invested in each student on campus. It is a powerful thing to witness a teacher personally connect with your child. Whether it's our Head of Lower School greeting every student by name during morning carpool, the chair of the math department offering extended office hours to help a struggling student, or a 3rd grade teacher coming to a students' Saturday basketball game, our teachers care about our students. They show it inside and outside of the classroom every single day. Of course I know our children will get a great education at Latin, but it's the community and the relationships that make this school so special.

A terrific school where learning is truly celebrated and the individual child is valued. The emphasis on civility and commitment to community service are added bonuses to the excellent academic experience. A beautiful campus that allows students of all ages to intermingle and form lasting friendships. The wonderful relationships between teachers and students are built on mutual respect.
