About the Provider
Walter G. Byers School was originally built as a K-5 Elementary School, serving the families of uptown Charlotte. However, this year, we are excited to become a school that includes students from Pre-K through 8th grade. We were thrilled to welcome the middle school students to our campus and we are glad the 2010-2011 5th grade students remained with us for their 6th grade year!
