Charlotte Christian School is a private, college preparatory, non-denominational Christian school for grades JK–12 located in Charlotte, North Carolina.[1]
History
In 1950, D.L. Pointdexter McClenny began a ministry at Calvary Presbyterian Church in uptown Charlotte called Calvary Christian Day School for kindergarten to grade six. In 1960, a group of men inspired by a Billy Graham crusade organized Christian High School. In 1969, these two schools merged to become Christian School Association of Charlotte, Inc., creating a kindergarten through twelfth grade institution. The school continued to grow and moved to its current site on Sardis Road in 1971. In 1976 the school was renamed Charlotte Christian School.[2]Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
