Community School of Davidson is a public charter school located in Davidson, North Carolina. Their mascot is the Spartans. The school opened in 2001 as Children's Community School and adopted its current name in 2009.[1] The school's founding principles center around The Basic School, and research done by Dr. Ernest Boyer. The school operates an elementary school, middle school, and high school on two separate campuses. Grades kindergarten through 7th "loop" with their teachers for 2 years. With both campuses combined, the student body is approximately 1,300 pupils, with about 100 per grade level.
When CSD originally started under the name Children's Community School (CCS) in 2001, it was a secular private school out of Lake Norman Baptist Church in Huntersville, North Carolina.[2] The school originally had only one kindergarten class, but it expanded by one grade over its first three years. In its fourth year, it became a charter school. With the school now having around 60 students, the directors decided that a new building was needed to accommodate the larger amount of students, so they purchased the former Elox manufacturing facility in Davidson, NC. [3] That building now houses the kindergarten through 7th grades, while the 8th through 12th grades reside about 1 mile up the road in a newer space.
