Accepted to Multiple Schools in Charlotte? Let’s Decide Together.
If you’re a Charlotte, NC parent whose child has been accepted to more than one school, you’re probably feeling equal parts grateful and overwhelmed.
CMS magnet schools. Charter schools. Private schools.
They all sound good… so how do you actually choose?
If you’re stuck between options and ready for clarity, The School Choice Call was created just for you.
Why School Choice Feels So Hard in Charlotte
Charlotte families are lucky, we have lots of options. But that also means more pressure to “get it right.”
You’re not just choosing a school. You’re choosing:
- your child’s daily experience
- their social and emotional support
- their academic success
- how your family’s routines will work
When every option has pros and cons, it’s easy to feel stuck. Sign up now, to make this decision with an experienced teacher.
Understanding Your Options: CMS Magnet, Charter, and Private Schools
Many families I work with are deciding between CMS magnet schools, their local public school, charter schools, and private schools. Each comes with important considerations.
CMS Magnet Schools often offer specialized programs like language immersion, STEM, or Montessori, but vary widely in location, curriculum, and logistics.
Charter Schools can provide smaller communities and unique approaches, but differ greatly in consistency, support services, and stability.
Private Schools may offer smaller class sizes or specific values, but also come with financial and academic pressures that don’t always fit every child.
There’s no universal “best” option; only the best fit for your child.
What Is The School Choice Call?
The School Choice Call is a focused, 30-minute, one-on-one call designed to help Charlotte-area parents confidently choose between schools their child has already been accepted to.
Before we meet, I research your specific school options so our conversation is clear, personalized, and productive.
On the call, we’ll:
- talk through your child’s needs
- break down your options in real-life terms
- dive into school performance data
- and help you make a decision you feel good about
You'll leave the call feeling confident to make a decision.

About Me
Hi, I’m Natalie! I'm a former elementary teacher with over a decade of experience, most of it spent in kindergarten classrooms. I hold a master’s degree in education from Johns Hopkins and through Primary Focus I work closely with families as they navigate some of the biggest school decisions in elementary school.
I live in Charlotte, North Carolina, and I’ve supported many local families choosing between CMS magnet schools, charter schools, and private schools. My approach is practical, honest, and child-centered. There’s no “perfect” school, only the right fit for your child and your family.
My goal is simple: to help parents feel confident, informed, and at peace with the decisions they’re making for their children.
You Don’t Have to Decide Alone
