In 2020 we launched our second school, Movement School Eastland, in east Charlotte. Movement School Eastland currently serves grades K-2 and will grow to serve grades K-5.

“Our goal is to help each student become as special as she can be as an individual -- not to be more special than the kid sitting next to her.”
