A hidden gem in Charlotte with great educators, small classrooms and a close knit environment for…read morekids. My son attended the TK(transitional kindergarten) program which is mostly 5 year olds with late birthdays that miss the CMS cutoff for kindergarten and he really loved it and learned so much within the school year. The classroom consisted of 12-15 students with a teacher and assistant with a very structured curriculum, uniform dress and chapel attendance mid week. The tuition is very affordable, if you don't want to send a lunch daily they provide lunch for an additional fee. The school has TK-8th grade and is growing yearly. My only concern is the after school program which is not very structured and when dealing with 5 year olds structure is very important, so if you have smaller kids attending, I would advise finding an alternative for after school care.

From the moment we went to Open House and visited the campus, we knew this was the best school for our son. We are so thankful to have found Back Creek. Not only do students learn facts, both academic and spiritual, they also learn how to defend their beliefs - which is so important in our society today! Every teacher has been so caring and wonderful. We thank God daily for Back Creek Christian Academy and the opportunity to have our son in such a wonderful school!

In March of 2013 CMS announced a $400 million education upgrade and plans to reopen Oakhurst Elementary as a K-8 STEAM partial magnet school in time for the 2015 - 2016 school year. The core focus at the newly branded Oakhurst STEAM Academy will be on Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math... aka STEAM. Since its been given the "partial magnet" status, there is a percentage of first priority available seats to children living within the outlined neighborhood boundaries which include Chantilly, Amity Gardens, Commonwealth Morningside, Echo Hills, and Oakhurst. All other children attending Oakhurst Elementary will have to enter via a lottery. The official school mascot is the Oakhurst Rockets and the school colors will be light blue and light orange. Oakhurst STEAM Academy will feature a Science and Robotic Labs, Lego Walls, a even a 3D Printer!!! The re-opening of Oakhurst Elementary is a very welcome change in the neighborhood and will serve as the staging ground for CMS to improve the education of the next generation of Charlotteans :)

It is so hard for me to write about this school. My youngest child was traumatized here and has not…read morehealed. We were only at Covenant Day School briefly a couple of years ago. It has taken time to reveal the extent of the damage to his heart. We put a lot of hope in this being the perfect school for our 4 kids. Great leadership - my favorite celebrity pastor on the Board. The best theology. Challenging academics. Strong community. We could not find a school like this anywhere else. What could go wrong? The kids. The kids here know exactly how to appear as Christians and give right answers and charm adults to win the coveted "Best Christian" awards. But they step on each other to elevate themselves rather than lending a hand to lift each other up. It is a very competitive place in sports and academics and cut-throat socially. It is NOT a wholesome place. These kids are on their phones absorbing and propagating the exact same messages you are hoping to pay for a Christian school to get away from. There are family names at this school and their kids could get away with murder and they know it. If your child is one of their hapless victims, the school would just tell you to pursue Matthew 18 and say reassuringly, "Sin is everywhere." The bullying among the kids is the worst I have ever seen or heard of. It absolutely totally broke our 5th grader and he was only there for a few months. He had been very sheltered his whole life at a small Christian private school, so when he got to this school, the boys in his grade quickly took advantage of that for their own entertainment and mocked, degraded and brutalized him until he believed them - that he was indeed a gay a** pu***. This actually may be the most expensive private school you ever send your kid to, because the messages he absorbed here about himself and the therapy he needs now are exorbitant...there is no end in sight and we are praying for God to do a miracle in his life. But the kids would not be empowered to be the way they are without the adults at this school enabling them. All the adults smile and pretend like everything is fine because they are horrified at the idea of confronting one another or offending any of the "important families." They are all cowardly people-pleasing addicts who care more about maintaining their own spot-in-the-pecking-order than putting that at risk to protect and defend a child who desperately needs a hero. I can't not write a review because I sure wish we'd been warned before entrusting this place with my children.

Prep fosters a strong sense of community and sense of belonging. Given the close-knit environment, students learn accountability and relationship-building from the very beginning. These core skills well prepare students for high school applications, that will support their success into adulthood. It has been a joy watching our child thrive in the Montessori environment, with expert teaching, autonomy, constructive feedback and uninhibited creativity. Prep is a top school in Charlotte and a great fit for anyone seeking exemplary tuition, engaging extracurricular, and diverse community!

There are other fitness groups that use the track F3 and other running groups, but usually everyone is pretty nice (especially at 5am). The track itself is not lit (lighted), but the streetlights from Runnymede give you enough ambient light to run on the track early on. Just try not to wear all black - unless you are going for a ninja look or trying to scare someone. Aside from the track - there are plenty of parking spaces and access to the fields. A lot of times I see the F3 guys rolling around in the grass, or doing suicide runs on the basketball courts. I'm just happy I actually got out of bed at that hour to run.
