Charlotte Christian School is a private, college preparatory, non-denominational Christian school for grades JK - 12 located in Charlotte, North Carolina.[1]

History

In 1950, D.L. Pointdexter McClenny began a ministry at Calvary Presbyterian Church in uptown Charlotte called Calvary Christian Day School for kindergarten to grade six. In 1960, a group of men inspired by a Billy Graham crusade organized Christian High School. In 1969, these two schools merged to become Christian School Association of Charlotte, Inc., creating a kindergarten through twelfth grade institution. The school continued to grow and moved to its current site on Sardis Road in 1971. In 1976 the school was renamed Charlotte Christian School.[2]

Academics

Charlotte Christian offers more than 45 Advanced Placement and honors courses. In the National Merit Scholarship Competition (NMSC), Charlotte Christian had 11 awards recipients[3]

Fine arts

The Center for Worship and Performing Arts is at the center of the fine arts program on campus. This two-story building contains an auditorium, a black-box theater, a scene shop and dressing rooms for student performers. There is also space for visual arts students to display their work. The center hosts plays, concerts, chapels, assemblies and other large events.

The performing arts program has received 24 Wells Fargo Blumey Award nominations for upper school musicals since the award began in 2012, and it has won five.
