Every child is unique and that includes individual learning styles. If you are considering a school switch for your child or simply looking ahead and curious to know more about school choices in the Charlotte area, make plans to attend the School Fair, hosted by Charlotte Parent and Charlotte Magazine, Oct. 13 from noon-4 p.m. at Spirit Square in uptown.
If you are considering applying to a private or charter school, now is the time to start gathering information as many schools' application process begins in January. Representatives from more than 30 local private and charter schools can answer questions about the application process, and share information about the school's philosophy, curriculum and other amenities at the School Fair.
