The school was founded in 1971 as Charlotte Montessori School. It moved to its current 13-acre southeast Charlotte campus off Sardis Road in 1992. In 1998 the school added a middle school and the name was changed to Charlotte Preparatory School to reflect its mission and educational philosophy.

The Early School (ages 2–1/2 through 5) is based upon the philosophy of Dr. Maria Montessori.
