‘Work at your own pace’ with charter school option

When Jessica Estrada needed an alternative to traditional high school, she found it in a charter school.

Estrada, who just completed her first year at Stewart Creek High School, opted for a personalized experience where she’s learning independently at her own rate. A classmate suggested Stewart Creek, a public charter school in west Charlotte where the day is divided into four-hour academic blocks and the curriculum allows students to earn credits up to twice as fast as traditional high school. In addition, Stewart Creek’s flexible enrollment and graduation schedules allows students to start and finish at any point in the academic year with an accredited diploma.
