Tuition-free public charter schools · Huntersville, NC
Bonnie Cone Schools are two tuition-free public charter schools in Huntersville, North Carolina: Bonnie Cone Classical Academy for grades K-6 and Bonnie Cone Leadership Academy for grades K-12. One board, one commitment to character and virtue, and a classical education that teaches minds to think and hearts to wonder.
Our schools
Each academy has its own campus, director and front office. Both share one curriculum, one board of directors and one school culture.
Grades K-6 · Home of the Eagles
An elementary school where students master the grammar of learning: phonics, math facts, foundational stories and the natural world, with Latin introduced in the early grades and character and virtue woven through every day.
Grades K-12 · Lower School and Upper School
A full K-12 experience on one campus: a Lower School for grades K-6 and an Upper School for grades 7-12 with athletics, fine arts, student services and a high school diploma, so Classical Academy graduates and new families have a path all the way through graduation.

Excellent staff that always greets my child with a smile to start the day! My child is in 4th grade, and for the first time comes home happy from school every day. His teacher has been so wonderful for him.
