MR. SWAIM - MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL

I've been at LKNC for eleven years.  I graduated from Liberty University with a degree in Education.  I've been married to my amazing wife for twelve years.  We have five children and live on our family farm in Surry County.  I love the opportunity that I have to invest into the lives of young people at LKNC. 

MIDDLE SCHOOL

Middle School is a time of transition where independent learning, responsibility, character development, and a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ are prioritized. The Lake Norman Christian middle school serves students with a committed faculty and a challenging curriculum. Teachers recognize that middle school is a distinctive time in the life of a student, and teachers work to create learning conditions that both encourage and challenge learners. As a result, students are better prepared for high school and beyond by obtaining experiences in leadership roles, collaborating with peers, and mentoring by Christian faculty, coaches, and staff members.

HIGH SCHOOL

High School is a time of expansion and training as students move towards college, future careers, and, most importantly, following God’s plan for their lives. Lake Norman Christian offers challenging courses, service opportunities, and curriculum while ministering to the whole person–mind, body, and spirit. The high school program builds on the sound spiritual and academic foundations laid through the elementary and middle school programs. Instructional emphasis is organized in the areas of Bible, English, mathematics, science, history, art, drama, physical education, foreign language, and electives.
