Every Student Can Lead
Building on our belief that every student can lead, we will leverage our signature leadership programs to develop the leadership potential in every student in a curricular thread that begins in Transitional Kindergarten and continues through Grade 12.
Rationale
A key differentiator for Charlotte Latin is its commitment to leadership. For more than 50 years, Latin has led in academics, athletics, and the arts. Latin’s dedicated leadership program is the only one of its kind in Charlotte schools. In addition, the school believes deeply that every student can lead in both formal and informal ways—in their schools, communities, and the world.
Strategic Initiatives
1.1 The Portrait of the Latin Leader - Latin will create a description of the skills, attributes, and mindsets that will empower each Latin graduate to lead effectively throughout life. This will serve as a road map for our curriculum, pedagogy, and extracurricular offerings.
1.2 The Leadership Strand - Latin will leverage its student leadership program by developing a K–12 leadership curriculum that touches every student along their journey and is embedded at every grade level with opportunities to develop the skills, attributes, and mindsets of the Latin Leader.
1.3 Beyond the Latin Campus - Latin will build on its service-learning program to develop a plan for community engagement and social impact that ensures both the school's commitment and student involvement in the greater Charlotte community.
