Additionally, Charlotte Christian School is a member of the Council on Educational Standards and Accountability (CESA) which serves Christian schools in their pursuit of excellence. As part of membership, CESA conducts an institutional review evaluating leadership, management, academics, and programming.

Our accreditation also signifies that Charlotte Christian is engaged in a continuous process of improvement. The mission, vision, and direction of Charlotte Christian focus on providing the best educational experience for each child in academics, athletics, fine arts, and spiritual life. Our personnel, curriculum, programs, and operations are evaluated every year by faculty, staff, and school administration. Part of the school improvement process includes seeking input from the school community. We periodically conduct surveys, focus groups, and committee meetings to seek input. We seek parent feedback about programs, practices, and policies. We also seek feedback from students, university experts, curriculum experts, and educational specialists.
