ARISTOTLE PREPARATORY ACADEMY

Aristotle Preparatory Academy is a Title I public charter elementary school that is part of the ALA Charlotte school district, located in Charlotte, NC with about 124 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 5th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 10 teachers, Aristotle Preparatory Academy has a student/teacher ratio of about 12:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Aristotle Preparatory Academy, located in Charlotte, North Carolina, is a tuition-free public charter school that serves students in grades K-8. Operating as part of the TeamCFA (Classic Foundations Academy) network, the school emphasizes a "back-to-basics" academic approach. Its curriculum is centered on a classical education model, which prioritizes core subjects—such as mathematics, science, literature, and history—while placing a heavy emphasis on building strong character and virtue in its students.

The school is committed to fostering a rigorous learning environment designed to prepare students for success in higher education and beyond. By integrating traditional instruction with a focus on moral development, Aristotle Preparatory Academy aims to develop well-rounded citizens who are equipped with both academic proficiency and a sense of personal responsibility. As a charter school, it maintains an open-enrollment policy, welcoming families from the surrounding Charlotte community who are seeking a structured, content-rich alternative to the traditional public school model.
