Our Policy

Friends School of Charlotte, motivated by its Quaker principle of equality, does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin, gender, sexual orientation, religion, physical disability, or socio-economic background. This policy applies to all programs and activities of the School, including, but not limited to, admission and employment practices, educational policies, scholarship and loan programs and athletic or other School-administered programs.

Friends School of Charlotte seeks students who enjoy learning, who can work independently and in groups, and who can accept responsibility. We are also committed to nurturing a diverse community of learners and appreciate that students learn differently.

Individual admission and continuing enrollment decisions include consideration of the resources available to meet the needs of each child while maintaining the best atmosphere of learning for all our students. This will be decided on a case-by-case basis after discussion with parents and determination of the best interests for the individual child.
