Charlotte Lab School

Charlotte Lab School Charlotte Lab School is a K-12 tuition-free public charter school located in Uptown Charlotte.

The Charlotte Lab School is designed to meet the needs of 21st century students and is built upon the following core values:

Authentic learning: Students learn best through meaningful, hands-on learning experiences that resemble the “real world”;

Individualization and Personalization: Students learn better when they are known by their teachers and when their school meets them where they are, enabling them to learn in different ways and at different paces;

Global Awareness and Bilingualism: Students must learn skills that will enable them to communicate and collaborate with diverse groups of people;

Metacognitive Skill Development: Students need to understand themselves as learners in order to adapt in today’s rapidly changing world; and

Innovation: Students’ needs must drive school improvement. Our approach utilizes a small, nurturing environment, where students will have the opportunity to participate in:

Solving real-world problems, alongside experts, through Challenge Based Learning;

Getting to know each other and themselves through our Advisory Program;

Using the City and greenspaces as their expanded classroom through our Community Partnerships;

Learning a second language – Mandarin or Spanish; and

Exploring their interests and learning new skills through our Enrichment Programs.

The Lab chess program has been strong since the early years of our school ♟️ Today, our Charlotte Chess Center after school program kicked off another season - there’s still time to sign-up!
💚You don’t have to be part of the after school club to be a part of the Lab competitive chess team - most students have taken chess during the school day and have the skills needed to compete on the team! Lab Lions
