Providence Day is a selective non-sectarian K-12 school on a 45-acre south Charlotte campus. Its Global Education program, robust AP and post-AP catalog, and strong athletics have made it one of the top independent-school destinations for relocating families. It shares Charlotte Latin's competitive selectivity and college-matriculation profile.

Providence Day sits along the Sardis Road corridor south of Providence Road. Its Global Education program — including required international study components — is a differentiator relative to Latin and Country Day.
