DEVELOPMENT

THE CAMPAIGN FOR THE ANNUAL FUND AND THE MASTER CAMPUS PLAN

Each year, parents, grandparents, friends, alumni and alumni families contribute to the Annual Fund at Charlotte Christian. This important campaign provides ongoing support to our campus that allows us to serve our faculty, students and community. Representing 2-3% of our operating budget, the Annual Fund touches every facet of our campus including enhanced security, improved technology, professional development for our faculty and campus beautification.

Your Annual Fund gift is vital to the mission of Charlotte Christian School. Through your support, we are able to provide our students with academic excellence in a Christ-centered environment. Read what our students have to say about how your gifts have made a difference to them. “I love Charlotte Christian because the enrichments are fun! I really like music because I can sing new songs and art because I can use my imagination. I want to be a lifer because I can spend time with friends and stay with them until the 12th grade.” - Olivia Ogburn, grade 1

“I like Charlotte Christian because we are all one big family and love and support each other. I think of joy when I think of Charlotte Christian because all of my friends and teachers are here.” - Holden Grace, grade 5

“What I love about Charlotte Christian is the teachers. They are super kind, supportive and always there to help when you need them. In one word I would describe Charlotte Christian as community - we are all here as one community and love each other.” - Charlie Cataldo, grade 8

“I love Charlotte Christian because of the JK-12 community! I get to interact with the other grades, play a sport, create in visual arts and cheer at football games....it is just a fun community. When I think about Charlotte Christian I think about the word foundation. We are JK12 and it prepares you for college. Every grade you expand more about what you learn and do. - Lexi Van Hoy, grade 8 “I love CCS for how supportive our teachers and coaches are for our academics and athletics. They are all very supportive if we are going through anything and are there to help us.” - Micah Gilbert, grade 10

“I love Charlotte Christian because of how it feels like a community and how the teachers and the students care about you as you journey at CCS and your walk with God. One word I would use to describe Charlotte Christian is inclusive. Whether it is in classes or extracurriculars, I feel like there are a bunch of people who want to get to know you as a person and want to embrace our differences even though we might not all be the same in different areas of life.” - Zaliyah Emmanuel, grade 11

“I love Charlotte Christian because of the unity I have made with my closest friends and the growth in my faith through the Bible department and the amazing teachers we have here at CCS. I would describe Charlotte Christian as rigorous. Throughout my four years in high school it has not only been challenging but the teachers have really helped every step of the way.” - Noah Cannon, grade 12

As soon as construction is complete on the new Middle School Building this coming summer, attention will be turned to the new Upper School Building. Back-to-back building construction was made possible thanks in part to the generous support of our community and allows for the school to utilize shared resources such as the cottages for both middle and upper school students during this time. Construction will begin in the summer of 2022 for the new building with plans to open it in August of the 2023-24 school year.
