Talent School Offers Families & Partners a New Path to Private Education

Charlotte, NC, February 24, 2025 — Talent School Expands Statewide Private School Network, Calls for Urgent Partner Applications as NC Opportunity Scholarship Priority Deadline Nears

With the March 6 Opportunity Scholarship priority lottery deadline approaching, Talent School is expanding its statewide private school network to provide flexible, individualized learning pathways for students across North Carolina.

With a flagship campus near Lake Norman and a growing network of partners across the state, Talent School is actively seeking strategic partners, co-ops, private schools, and talent-based training facilities to join its innovative education model—but time is running out.

NC Opportunity Scholarship Provides Funding for Private Education
The NC Opportunity Scholarship provides between $3,458 and $7,686 per student annually, making private education accessible to more families than ever. However, families must apply by March 6 for priority placement, and partners must be in place before funding allocations begin.

A New Model for Private Education in North Carolina
Unlike traditional private schools that require full-time, in-person attendance, Talent School allows students to build an education model that works for them by:

-Remaining a homeschooler while gaining private school benefits.
-Attending in-person at a Talent School campus, a partner co-op, or a learning center.
-Customizing a learning pathway in academics, the arts, sports, or career-based fields.
-Accessing accredited curriculum from Miacademy and MiaPrep.
-Receiving financial support for specialized training in music, athletics, dance, acting, equestrian studies, and more.

“We’re not building just another private school. We’re building a private school network that adapts to students, instead of forcing students to adapt to a system,” says Betsy Hauser, an education entrepreneur and advocate for personalized learning.

Expanding Through Company-Led Campuses & Strategic Partnerships
Talent School is actively seeking new locations for company-led campuses while partnering with co-ops, private schools, and alternative learning centers across the state.

– Company-Led Talent School Campuses – Offering in-person instruction, drop-off options, and hybrid learning models.
– Strategic Partner Locations – Co-ops, microschools, and private schools that integrate Talent School’s accredited curriculum, resources, and funding.
