Charlotte Lab School Home

Student-Centered Focus on the Whole Child

We design our curriculum with the needs of the students (vs. the system or the adults) at the forefront.

Diversity by Design

21st century schools must reflect the makeup of the modern world & workplace ensuring students' ability to engage with the outside world and collaborate with diverse groups of people.

Rigorous & Innovative Teaching & Learning

Using the community as our classroom, Lab provides hands-on, collaborative, authentic activities to promote deeper understanding & development of skills ensuring success in college & career.

FOUNDER'S MESSAGE

We created Lab to reimagine what’s possible in public education. As long-time K-12 teachers and administrators, we knew there was a better way to approach school -- a way that puts the needs of students (vs. the ‘system’) at the center, a way that lets teachers be the kind of teachers they always thought they could be, a way that proves ALL kids should be known, have opportunities to find and develop their passion, and can be successful.

So we created Lab, and The Lab Way. It’s our lives’ work and our passion.
