Why do we have to raise money in addition to tuition?

Each year the Charlotte Preparatory School Board of Trustees develops an annual budget in support of the school mission and the Five Year Strategic Plan. Charlotte Prep works diligently to balance the tuition and fees necessary to fund the educational experience it provides, with the ability of families to afford the cost. Tuition funds the mission of the school to provide a safe, nurturing environment with an enriching Montessori program and academically challenging curriculum. The school uses hard income from tuition and fees to fund core operations. Gifts to Charlotte Preparatory School provide the means to encourage growth, enhance curricular and co-curricular programs, and support the school’s physical environment.
