Extra academic support can make a real difference for a struggling student — and in Cabarrus County, a number of free resources exist that many families never hear about. Whether your child needs help catching up, staying on track, or moving ahead, the options below are worth knowing. None of them require money. All of them are accessible to Concord families.
The CCS Approved Tutor List
Cabarrus County Schools maintains a publicly available approved tutor list for the 2025-26 school year. This list includes individual tutors and tutoring organizations that have been vetted by the district — useful if you want a live, local tutor with district familiarity. The list is accessible through the CCS website and is updated each school year. While tutors on this list may charge fees, the list is a practical starting point for finding someone with direct experience in the Cabarrus curriculum. Some tutors on the list offer sliding-scale or reduced rates for families with demonstrated need — worth asking directly.
NC Virtual Public School: Free Online Courses for CCS Students
NC Virtual Public School (NCVPS) offers free online courses to enrolled public school students across North Carolina, including those in CCS. This is particularly useful for students who need to recover a failed credit, take a course not offered at their home school, or access advanced coursework. Enrollment is handled through the student's guidance counselor. Learn more at ncvps.org. This is a state-funded resource — there is no tuition cost for eligible students.
Cabarrus County Public Library: Homework Help and Study Space
The Cabarrus County Public Library system — with branches in Concord, Kannapolis, Mt. Pleasant, and Harrisburg — offers free homework help programs, quiet study space, computer access, and a range of academic databases that students can use for research at no cost. Library card holders also get free access to digital learning platforms including Britannica and other reference tools. The library's youth programming calendar includes periodic tutoring events and academic workshops. Check the branch closest to you at cabarruscounty.us/library for current programming.
Khan Academy: Free, Self-Paced, and Genuinely Useful
For families who want something a student can access at home, any time, Khan Academy remains one of the most reliable free academic tools available — covering math from early elementary through calculus, reading comprehension, science, SAT prep, and more. It is completely free, works on any device with internet access, and is self-paced. For a parent who cannot afford a tutor, Khan Academy is the most practical first tool to put in front of a struggling student. It is not perfect for every learning style, but it covers Cabarrus County's curriculum subjects well enough to be genuinely useful for most students.
At Solo Faith Church — located at 587 Old Charlotte Rd SW in Concord — we believe that academic support should not depend on a family's ability to pay a tutoring fee. If you have a child in need and are looking for community-level support, reach out to us at solofaith.org. We stay connected to these resources and can help point families in the right direction.
Solo Faith Church spotlights free tutoring and academic resources in our Solo Faith Directory because education equity is a community issue. Every child in Cabarrus County deserves the support they need to succeed — regardless of their family's income. Knowing these resources exist is the first step to using them.
