BOB, We’ll Miss You!

Charlotte Magazine has ceased publication. Their last issue was December of 2025.  Ballantyne Reading Academy was on a roll and won the Best Of the Best –  Best Tutoring Service for the past 4 years –  2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025. Our thanks to all who nominated and voted for us over the years. ​ Our dedication and commitment to offer the best tutoring to your children is still in action everyday. We’ve just lost a recognition tool to validate it for us. Call us to set up an assessment for your child and let us show you BOB in action.
