Dear Nalanda Charter Academy Families,

We regret to inform you that Nalanda Charter Academy will not be opening as planned in the school year 2025-2026.

Despite receiving over 175 applications from families who expressed interest in joining our school community, we were unable to meet the North Carolina Charter School Review Board's stringent requirement of having 111 students with all submitted required documents by the deadline. As a result, the NC Charter School Review Board has declined Nalanda’s approval to proceed with the school opening.

What does this mean to the committed Families who completed all enrollment requirements?

We want to express our deepest gratitude to the families who diligently completed and submitted all necessary documentation by the deadline. Your commitment, trust, and support for our educational vision meant everything to us. We are truly sorry that despite your efforts and our shared enthusiasm for creating this innovative learning environment, we cannot move forward with the opening of Nalanda Charter Academy at this time.

Your dedication to the enrollment process demonstrates the kind of engaged parent community that would have made our school exceptional. While we are disappointed that we cannot serve your children in the way we had hoped, we encourage you to continue seeking educational opportunities that align with your values and your child's needs.

Are you still in the process of submitting enrollment documents?

For those families who were in the process of gathering or submitting the required documentation, please know that these materials are no longer needed. The Charter School Review Board's decision means that the enrollment process has been concluded, and no additional documents need to be submitted.

Moving Forward:

We will post additional updates on our website as appropriate. Stay tuned. We understand this news is disappointing for many families who were looking forward to being part of the Nalanda Charter Academy community.

Thank you once again to everyone who believed in our vision and took the time to explore this educational opportunity for your children. Your interest and support, even in this outcome, has been deeply meaningful to our founding team.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly.

With sincere and deepest appreciation,

Nalanda Charter Academy Board of Directors
