PURPOSE: Lake Norman Charter School provides a rigorous and comprehensive educational environment to develop students with a focus on college readiness, leadership, and social responsibility.

As a college preparatory school, it is incumbent on us to build and maintain an educational program which engages and supports every student and their parents through the college decision process, starting in middle school and concluding with their enrollment in their college or university of choice. This most certainly begins with developing a rigorous and relevant curriculum that supports that goal.
