From University City and NoDa to Matthews, Mint Hill, and Huntersville, Charlotte-area families have more school options than ever before. For charter founders, that means having a great academic model is no longer enough. You need enrollment systems that work, a brand families trust, and messaging that makes your value unmistakable in a crowded market.
