What does it mean to be
Fully Armored?
At Lake Norman Charter, being Fully Armored represents the complete journey of a Knight—from kindergarten through 12th grade. It means that throughout every stage of a student’s experience, they have been guided, taught, and shaped by the principles of The Knight Standard. By the time they graduate, our students are not only academically prepared but equipped with the character, skills, and confidence needed to face an ever-changing world. To be fully armored is to embody the values that define LNC—ready to lead, ready to grow, and ready to make a difference.
Future Ready gives students the durable skills and AI proficiency needed in this ever-changing world.
Leadership in Action starts from the first day you become an LNC Knight, teaching leadership skills in the classroom.
THRIVE allows students to grow outside the classroom with volunteer and career opportunities.
