Our Guiding Philosophy
Charlotte Latin is committed to nurturing the whole child by providing a
balanced learning environment that promotes the growth of each student’s mind, body, and spirit. Our academic program is built upon a flexible
curriculum that challenges the capabilities and engages the talents of our students. We encourage active learning
through problem-solving techniques and through worthwhile and relevant learning experiences in all areas of study. The School’s faculty and administration work closely with each student in order to help him or her obtain a functional and meaningful education by adopting realistic, challenging goals. We assist our students in developing selfconfidence, self-direction, a mature and responsible character, leadership skills, and respect for oneself and others.
Charlotte Latin School does not discriminate on the basis of sex, race, color,
religion, national origin, or sexual orientation in the administration of its
educational programs, admissions policies, financial aid policies, employment practices, or other school-administered programs.
Inlustrate Orbem Translated from the Latin,
this phrase means “Enlighten the
World” and is the motto displayed on Latin’s seal.
Our Commitment to Cultural Literacy
Charlotte Latin takes a comprehensive approach to promoting awareness of cultural literacy issues. The Director of
Diversity and Multicultural Affairs works with various committees composed of students, parents, faculty and staff
members to research and implement strategies for promoting an inclusive environment and increasing the diversity within the School community. The Mosaic Club, which is managed by and for Upper School students, sponsors activities that showcase the many faith, ethnic, and cultural heritages represented among the student body. Through
its Global Partners Committee, the Parents’ Council weaves cultural awareness into its activities, such as featuring Indian traditions during the Book Fair and highlighting Latin’s international sister schools.
