Our curriculum is designed to encourage maximum progress in academic, personal, and social development. Whether students are enrolled in a computer camp, an art class, or a course on study skills, we want them to feel free to experiment, test new boundaries, and discover new talents. A premium is placed on early identification of specific weaknesses and subsequent emphasis on these problem areas. Where there is demonstrated proficiency, more challenging material is pursued. Within a framework of specific objectives, each student proceeds at the pace best suited to his or her abilities.
Ample time is set aside for individual conferences and tutorials.
When appropriate, field trips, guest speakers, group and individual projects, and other practical experiences supplement classroom work. In academic and remedial classes, the ultimate objective is mastery of the skills, concepts, and study habits necessary for future academic success. The staff is selected from the school's regular faculty and other educational sources in the community. Class sizes are small enough to ensure individual attention. The Country Day Summer Programs will be held on the Cannon Campus of Charlotte Country Day School at 1440 Carmel Road.
