Our mission is simple -
to make quality Christian education accessible to all families

The Shepherd’s Academy is a tuition-free Christian school serving K–3 students in east Charlotte. Built on faith and community, we provide a nurturing place where every child can grow in wisdom, character, and purpose.

Our classrooms are small, our teachers know every student personally, and each child learns through a mix of hands-on projects, creative exploration, and adaptive technology that helps them master the basics and go beyond.

The school also partners with families and churches to create a model of affordable, high-quality Christian education that can be replicated in other communities.

The team at The Shepherd’s Academy is thankful for the many friends, church partners, and volunteers who have given their time, skills, and prayers to make this vision a reality.
