Charlotte Latin School
Charlotte Latin School is an independent, coeducational, non-sectarian day school located in Charlotte, North Carolina. The school was founded in 1970 and serves about 1,500 students in transitional kindergarten through 12th grade. The school is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, Southern Association of Independent Schools and the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction.
History
Development of Charlotte Latin School began in 1967, when a group of Charlotte citizens led by businessman Frank Thies undertook the planning of an independent, college preparatory school that would focus on traditional teaching methods and classical curriculum.[3][4] The founders believed that the growing Charlotte area needed another school of the caliber of Charlotte Country Day School, which was at capacity and had a waiting list at the time.[3] The founding group incorporated under the name Charlotte Latin School with a 13-member board of trustees: Carol Belk, Patrick Calhoun, Tom Creasy, Jr., Alan Dickson, Cam Faison, Catherine Faison, Betsy Knight, Bob Knight, John Pender, Howard Pitt, John Stedman and Janet Thies.[5] The Latin name was chosen as a reference to the Boston Latin School, a New England school considered one of the best in the country that placed a strong emphasis on a traditional liberal arts education.[6]
In early 1970 the trustees mailed out 2,000 brochures to gauge community interest in the new school.[4] After receiving adequate response the trustees secured approximately 50 acres of land near the intersection of Providence Road and Highway 51 in suburban Charlotte.[7] Two buildings were constructed on the new Charlotte Latin campus in the summer of 1970.[8] An advertisement seeking new faculty members yielded 200 applicants for 25 open positions.[9]
Charlotte Latin opened for its first school year in the fall of 1970 with 425 students in grades one through nine and Jeremiah Splaine as its first headmaster.[9] In October 1970 a standard review by the Internal Revenue Service granted the school tax exempt status after it printed its non-discrimination policy in the local newspaper.[10]
Over the ensuing three years, the school added 10th, 11th, and 12th grade classes. By the end of 1975 enrollment had grown to 812 students with 60 faculty and the school was accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.[11] Many independent schools in the Charlotte area experienced rapid growth in the early 1970s as a result of the controversy around busing in the Charlotte Mecklenburg School system.[12][13][14] While Charlotte Latin had been in the planning stage for several years prior and was not founded in response to desegregation,[15][16] journalists at the time found it likely that a portion of its early growth was attributable to parents seeking to avoid busing in the public school system.[17] One member of a local anti-busing group enrolled his children in the school, stating "I've simply taken my children off the battlefield while I fight the battle."[15]
Both the founders and administration expressed non-discriminatory views early in the school's history. Founding board member Frank Thies told The Charlotte Observer that Charlotte Latin would not exclude anyone based on race and that its formation was not connected to desegregation of the public schools: "We've been working on this school...for three years. If we wanted to create a segregation academy, we could open tomorrow with all the money and students we could take."[4] Headmaster Jeremiah Splaine told The Charlotte News that the school has an open door policy and "is interested only in providing education" and to meet the area's need for "a great independent school."[18] While the student body was primarily white, records indicate Charlotte Latin was desegregated from its inception, with African American students enrolled in the early 1970s.[13][14]
Dr. Edward J. Fox, Jr. was named Charlotte Latin's 3rd headmaster in 1976.[19] Over his 25-year tenure, the school experienced a period of sustained growth, with enrollment increasing to 1,320 students, the size of the campus increasing from 50 acres to 112 acres, and the addition of several new facilities.[20] In 2000 the school's 30,000-square-foot Science, Art, and Technology Building was opened, followed by the 45,000-square-foot Beck Student Activities Center a year later.[21][22][23] The middle school building was named the "Edward J. Fox, Jr. Middle School" upon his retirement in 2001.[24]
In 2001, Dr. Fox was succeeded as headmaster by Arch McIntosh, Jr.[25] Under McIntosh's leadership, minority enrollment at Charlotte Latin increased more than four-fold, from 3.4% of the student population in 2000 to 15.6% in 2018.[26][27] At the end of his 18-year tenure, Charlotte Latin opened the Inlustrate Orbem Building, a 50,000-square-foot facility housing upper school classrooms as well as the admissions, college counseling and development offices.[28][29] The 100/200 building (formerly classrooms and administrative offices) was repurposed as the "McIntosh Leadership Center" in 2018, shortly before his retirement.[30]
In July 2019 Charles D. Baldecchi ("Chuck") became the 5th head of school in Charlotte Latin's history.[31]

During the 1976–1977 school year, Charlotte Latin was awarded a charter to the Cum Laude Society, an organization that honors scholastic achievement at secondary institutions.[32][33] Charlotte Latin is the youngest school in the United States to have received a Cum Laude Society charter.[34]
Charlotte Latin has been recognized with the Blue Ribbon School of Excellence Award from the United States Department of Education on three different occasions.[35] The Upper School was recognized in 1986–87, the Lower School in 1996-97 and the Middle School in 1999–2000.[36]
Sponsored by the Dr. John C. Malone Family Foundation, the Malone Scholars program endows scholarships for highly capable students in grades 7 through 12 based on merit and financial need. Charlotte Latin is one of fifty Malone Scholars schools in the country, which are selected by the Malone Family Foundation for their: "academic caliber; the quality of their staff; excellent accommodations for gifted and talented students; strong AP/IB and enrichment programs; attention to the individual student's needs, interests, and talents; financial strength and stability; a commitment to financial aid; and an economically, culturally, ethically, and socially diverse population."[37][38]
In 2020, PolarisList ranked Charlotte Latin first in the Mecklenburg area for sending students to elite colleges after a study conducted over the four-year period from 2015 to 2018 that measured enrollment at Harvard, Princeton, and MIT.[39] Charlotte Latin ranked fifth in the state of North Carolina on this same measure, behind the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics, Durham Academy, East Chapel Hill High School, and Cary Academy.[40]

STEAM
Charlotte Latin focuses its scientific curriculum on STEAM, incorporating the arts and humanities into its scientific, technology, engineering and math training. In 2016 the school was designated a Fab Lab and began participating in the Fab Academy program. Founded at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Fab Lab focuses on using engineering and digital fabrication to solve real world problems through use of many different tools provided.[41] Said tools include 3D printers, laser cutters, CNC machines, a SawStop table-saw, and computers.[42] Digital design programs in use in the CLS Fab Lab include Fusion360, Cameo Silhouette Studio, the Adobe suite, and CorelDRAW. In March 2020, a student-led campaign supervised by Fab Lab director and Charlotte Latin teacher Tom Dubick raised in excess of $100,000 and utilized the school's facility to design and print 3D and injection molded face shields for medical professionals in need of PPE during the COVID-19 pandemic.[43][44]
