PHOTOS: Corvian grows campus with $13.4M high school

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Corvian Community School has expanded its student body — and campus with a $13.4 million high school.

That 70,000-square-foot facility welcomes its first freshman class on Aug. 27. It sits on roughly 10 acres at 4041 Johnston-Oehler Road in north Charlotte.

“We will stagger our growth and add one grade a year,” says Stacey Haskell, executive director.

She launched Corvian as a low-tuition private school in 2010. It was a move to fill a gap in the educational system — and meet her own children’s educational needs.
