Bridge the opportunity gap
Great schools should be accessible to all children.
Top-notch education
Challenging K-8 academics are a solid foundation for a child’s future life of leadership and service.
Christ-centered environment
At Brookstone, we know that all children bear God’s image. We partner with under-resourced families to educate children spiritually, socially, and academically.
Affordable price
School fees are adjusted based on family income. A great education should be accessible to all children.
When good public schools are inaccessible and private schools are unaffordable, under-resourced families are stuck without options for their children’s education. It’s frustrating and disheartening.
Every child deserves an outstanding education.
We seek to equip students with faith, virtue, and knowledge.

Brookstone is more than a school. There are many opportunities to volunteer, including lunch buddies, tutoring, and classroom assistants.
The Mebane Foundation has been a strong financial supporter and thought partner of Brookstone Schools for many years. I’ve traveled around North Carolina and visited 100’s of public, charter and private schools, and while the quality of programs and leadership can vary from one to the next I can honestly say that Brookstone Schools is the best of the best. I like to say they have found ‘The Secret Sauce.’ Families and their children in the Charlotte area are truly blessed to have access to such an amazing community partner.
Brookstone’s Mission is vital in helping the young generation of students succeed in many facets of
life.
Education. Character. Faith.
Small class sizes gives students an opportunity for a high level of educational teacher-student
interactions.
Students are taught respect, courtesy and appreciation. My visits to Brookstone include a handshake, a
smile and words of appreciation from my “Partner” students. They follow up my visit with a handwritten note of thanks for supporting their education.
It is heart-warming to witness students growing in Christian faith. Each lunch visit includes a prayer
before the meal.
Partner with us to provide many more children with a top-notch, Christ-centered education at an affordable price.
Every child is an image-bearer of God with the potential for a joy-filled future of leadership and service. Many Charlotte children are stuck on the wrong side of the opportunity gap. Be a part of the solution!
