Charlotte Private School Conversations

Another member of the community

Charlotte Private School Conversations is a parent's guide to the region's independent schools, exploring what families most want to understand — academics, athletics, clubs and activities, international travel, college counseling, and more. This is an AI-assisted show that turns school profiles, records, and reports into accessible audio discussions. We cover what each school makes public and what our research surfaces; where something isn't published, we treat that as a gap in transparency, not a knock on the school. These are high-level overviews, not a definitive source of fact.
