Overview

This is a growing seedling article. You can help HTYP by watering it.

Central Park School for Children (CPSC) is a charter school within the Durham, NC public school system. They currently cover Pre-K through 5th grade. Their status as a charter school exempts them from many of the public school system's rules, and their approach to education is "child-centered" and more flexible than traditional-style schools within the system. Class sizes are also smaller. The main downside is that admission is by lottery, so it can be difficult to get in.
