My daughter just finished her first year in the primary program and is starting to read, it's truly incredible. The skills they learn from the work transfers over into real life and it also teaches them to hold themselves accountable. The campus is special and gives a very woodsy feel. Above and beyond any traditional schooling approach.

Prep fosters a strong sense of community and sense of belonging. Given the close-knit environment, students learn accountability and relationship-building from the very beginning. These core skills well prepare students for high school applications, that will support their success into adulthood. It has been a joy watching our child thrive in the Montessori environment, with expert teaching, autonomy, constructive feedback and uninhibited creativity. Prep is a top school in Charlotte and a great fit for anyone seeking exemplary tuition, engaging extracurricular, and diverse community!

I was a student here for all 7 years of my middle and high school education. Worst 7 years of my…read morelife. I was treated so poorly by both students and faculty, and every report I made to the admins was thrown in the garbage. I have epilepsy as well as some other significant medical problems. I was called every slur under the sun, kids would flash lights at me and shine laser pointers in my eyes, try and steal the stuff from my bag, or just straight up tell me I should kill myself because of how "sick" and stupid I am. The parents who volunteered at the school treated me better than any member of staff here. Now my teachers: In my junior year, I had a seizure in my math class. I woke up to a megaphone in my face with my teacher yelling at me to wake up. I was on the FLOOR. THE FLOOR. She also took the device I had managing my heart monitor, because it was a "phone". Said device was not allowed to be more than 6 feet away from me at a time, and I had CLEAR documentation on this. Another one was my history teacher, googling verbatim "how to find a rich husband" and "do pretty women have more advantage in life" while connected to the SMART Board. Last one, my personal favorite! I had an ambulance called on me for a seizure. I was still in postictal state, and my mother had arrived, obviously very distressed. He had the balls to tell my mom I was faking my seizures. How can you say that about someone's kid to their mom's face? It makes me sick. No actions were ever taken for the countless reports and witness statements I put in through administration. I was lied to and told something will be done for sure, and that my concerns were important to them. Funny joke! Don't even get me started on the mental health aspect of this either. I was so fucking drained and deprived of any sort of emotion, and received no support when I asked for it. Instead, they threatened my parents with CPS because they believed I belonged in a mental facility, despite me already being medicated and having the doctors I need. Don't send your kids here. Good riddance.

Ok, I'm not a student or a teacher at Cuthbertson but I did visit it to purchase greenhouse plants…read more The main entrance is impressive. Brought me back to Kennedy Center's Hall of Nations with all the colorful flags hanging. The receptionist helped me find my way to the greenhouse n I could see security is absolutely present which is a good thing with all the firearms violence happening in the news. Drove around to the well stocked greenhouse thanks to its major contributing teacher who probably supports the FFA (Future Farmers of America) with his paycheck. I must remember to start potting plants now for next year's spring sale to share my overflow to help out. Anyway, the FFA Plant Sale was posted on the Nextdoor Neighborhood app (kind of late in the sale) by probably a parent of a student. For the FFA sale, the greenhouse is manned by a student. I hv to remember to check the school's website for the start of the sale to get annual plants earlier next year. I love the colorful zinnias which I bought a whole bunch! In fact, I bought lots of other stuff too...even small ficus trees for my upstairs sunny room. After the shopping, I saw the tennis courts n they're in great shape n open (I think) to the public not like MR High's sadly. MR is closer than Cuthbertson but Cuthbertson is my area's high school. The building spread of Cuthbertson seems much more welcoming than MR's exterior view. I hv yet to explore MR. I only know it from driving past its two exposed sides (football field and a closed in tight spread of a few buildings). My friend's 8th & 9th graders seem to be doing well there. My neighbor's kids next door use to go to MR b4 redistricting n they love Cuthbertson more than their experience in MR but I know ea year's batch of students/experiences differ. I think tho if I were able to choose by simply the exterior I'd go to Cuthbertson. Now as far as curriculum that's a whole different thing to consider but since I don't know both can't comment.

My child started at Sylvan and each time I had my monthly meet with the directors I was told he was…read moredoing great, but I still saw my child not making connections and then finally had him evaluated to find out he had a learning disability. I went to the directors and explained to see if we could get out of our contract, and they informed me that they work with children with this problem all the time. Then proceeded to ask me what they need to buy. If they work with this learning issue, then why don't you have the products. Rachel never returned my phone calls, so I tried to talk to Wendy who is I believe Regional; her communication skills are lacking, and she was zero help to get us out of our contract after we had proof that my child was doing better with a one-on-one tutor geared towards his learning disability. If I would have gone with my momma gut and had my child assessed, then I wouldn't be dealing with payments after the fact. Parents don't sign the contract and believe that they are going to do so great for your children. They sit at an iPad and work through a program parent you can do that at home on your own. Please find a one-on-one tutor. This location is absolutely not worth your time, I actually got more information and help from other locations and they didn't have great things to say about this franchise in fact they had clients move to their facility because this location was so bad I wish I could get the rest of this contract erased so I wouldn't have to make payments and focus on the new tutor payments

I would HIGHLY suggest people to steer clear of Sylvan!! We have a high school student that has…read moresome learning difficulties so we turned to Sylvan. We had a consultation, explained to the director that he needs one on one tutoring and was told that they would be a great fit. When he started, we did in person tutoring at the facility so he could get one on one, in person tutoring. The director had told us about her degrees in education and that "she" couldn't wait to work with him. We were very surprised when we picked him Up from his session how young the "tutor" looked. The tutor looked to be in high school himself. We spoke with the director, whom we thought would be working with our son, and learned the tutor was older than we thought but none the less, didn't have a teaching degree. There is no one on one tutoring and there were usually 3-5 students per tutor. The sessions consisted of my child answering questions on an iPad. Waiting up to 15 minutes either for help or for the tutor to load new questions. This could happen 3+ times in a 2 hr session. When paying 50 bucks an hour and you sit idle for 30+ minutes, waiting on the tutor to help the other students, is like flushing $ down the toilet. We had many conference all's with the director and promises that they'd fix it. We eventually started doing the tutoring from home since there was no one on one teaching. Tutors would be talking very loudly to each other about movies etc which made it very hard for my student to focus. Every issue we brought to the director, she promised to fix. She only was stringing us along so we would miss our 60 day window to get our money back. Don't let them suck you in with promises that they can correct your child's learning issues. They don't care about your child at all. They only care about the money. Don't be fooled!! You'll loose 4 grand and your child will be no better off.

My daughter did verbally but that was not recognized and they will not refund my $600.00. So, the low rating is for billing and customer service, not the actual tutors. Also, I can not find a link to cancel this "membership" on their website.
