It reads, "Mitchell College. Founded 1856 as college for women. Presbyterian until 1959. Granted state community college status, 1973. Two blocks north." Online, there is more information. "Mitchell College was officially authorized by the Concord Presbytery in 1852-1853 as a Presbyterian female academy in Statesville. However the first school building was destroyed by a storm while still incomplete and construction was halted for nearly three years due to a lack of funds. The college officially opened in 1856 as the Concord Female College." "In the late 1870s the school came into the hands of Eliza Mitchell Grant and Margaret Eliot Mitchell, the daughters of Elisha Mitchell, for whom Mount Mitchell is named. [Reference: https://www.yelp.com/biz/elisha-mitchell-historical-marker-mount-mitchell.] Under their leadership the school made considerable progress, expanding both the size of the campus and the curriculum. In honor of them, the school board of trustees named the college after them in 1917." "During the next two decades, major work was done remodeling the campus buildings and constructing new facilities. In 1932, men were first admitted and in 1959 the college became an independent community college recognized by the State of North Carolina. Today the school offers over 20 associate degree programs, as well as numerous certificate and diploma options for those pursuing post-secondary education."

There's some awful professors here that don't care about your well being at all and will treat you…read morelike literal garbage and you will work your ass off to pass and they will still fail you. For example had a English paper due, had a friend proofread, had the writing center proofread, had another professor proofread it, and then had the literal library to proofread it. Turned it in and presented it. Passed out during my presentation. Re presented it to a whole different class, and moss failed me still. What a clown.

We started our daughter at Chesterbrook Academy shortly after she turned two. Before that, she had…read moreonly been cared for by family, so sending her to school was a huge adjustment not only for her, but for us as parents too. From the very beginning, Ms. Adrienne, Principal Ms. Kerry, and the entire staff were incredibly patient, welcoming, and understanding. They knew how anxious we were about sending our little girl to school for the first time. Anytime we sent a message or had a question, they responded quickly and reassured us. Receiving daily pictures also helped us feel connected and gave us peace of mind throughout the day. It took our daughter several months to become comfortable, but her teachers never rushed her. They worked with her patiently, showed her kindness, and helped her adjust at her own pace. Then one day, everything changed....she began loving school! Now she asks to go every day and is excited to play with her friends. If you are a parent who is nervous or anxious about sending your little one to childcare, we highly recommend Chesterbrook Academy. The staff is accommodating, caring, welcoming, and always willing to answer questions. They truly made what could have been a very difficult transition into such a positive experience for our entire family. Choosing Chesterbrook Academy has been one of the best decisions we have made for our daughter. We are so grateful for Ms. Adrienne, Ms. Kerry, and all of the wonderful teachers and staff. Our daughter will happily remain part of the Chesterbrook family until she heads off to kindergarten!

The level of detail and care they put into her and the curriculum is impressive. She goes in and comes home with a smile on her face, enriched from her day. I absolutely love the artwork they send home with her too, it's a really nice personal touch and will save forever. We are so thankful and appreciative for the opportunity for our daughter to be apart of such a wonderful place and special thanks to all her teachers, Ms. Emily, Ms. Theda, Ms. Tina and Ms. Nadia and everyone else at Chesterbrook.

If I could give them zero stars I would. This school is expensive and the people who run it are…read moredifficult. My daughter as well as many of her friends have been upset because they cannot get into the "driving" part of the school for more than 6 month. 16 year olds are waiting 6+ months to legally get their permit. This is so unacceptable. Parents should be made aware of this before they lay out $600+. For the price, this should not be the case. I cannot believe that they have a good rating. DO NOT USE THEM!!!!! Many students end up going to the HS to complete their driving in a timely fashion, but you will pay another $50. Save yourself the misery and have your kids take drivers ex at the HS.
