About Carolina International School

Carolina International School is located in Harrisburg, NC and is in Carolina International School. It is a charter school that serves students in grades K-9 .

Charter schools are public schools, but differ from traditional public schools in that they are independent and are operated by educators, parents, community leaders, educational entrepreneurs, or others. Funding for charter schools is based on designated local or state educational organizations. Those organizations are responsible for monitoring and assessing the quality and effectiveness of education, but permit the schools to operate outside of the traditional public school education system.

Carolina International School Reviews

by a Parent S.K.

My children attended this school last year during the whole school embezzlement mess that almost resulted in the Carolina International School closing. Many students left and almost half of the staff left because of poor management and poor administration support. After all was said and done, I was thankful for the school year to be over. I would never recommend that charter school to anyone. I saw first hand how many of the parents were hostile and hateful and did not support the teachers who had to left CIS in order to do what was best for their families. I am thankful to have my family out of that situation.

"They have a newly built building which is absolutely gorgeous and very well laid out. In general the staff is caring, but firm. Only bad thing is that parent involvement is not encouraged. Yet!!"
