Leader In Me

Leader in Me: Building Leaders for Life

At NC Cyber Academy, we don't just teach academics — we build leaders. Through our school-wide implementation of Leader in Me, a nationally recognized framework based on Dr. Stephen Covey's The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, every student is empowered to discover their potential, take ownership of their success, and lead starting today.

Why Leader in Me Sets Us Apart

In a virtual learning environment, independence and self-motivation aren't optional; they're essential. That's exactly why Leader in Me is such a powerful fit for our students. This framework builds the confidence, focus, and accountability students need to thrive online, while also nurturing the leadership and social-emotional skills that will serve them for a lifetime.

There are 7 Habits that shape our students: 
✅ Be Proactive
✅ Begin with the End in Mind
✅ Put First Things First
✅ Think Win-Win
✅ Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood
✅ Synergize
✅ Sharpen the Saw

Leader in Me Schools SEE Differently

The Leader in Me experience begins with adopting five new paradigms in education, shifting the focus from traditional instruction to a deeper understanding of student achievement, and reigniting purpose for educators and families alike.

🌟 Everyone Can Be a Leader
We all have the ability to lead, serve, influence, and make a difference.

🌟 Everyone Has Genius
We recognize and celebrate the unique gifts and talents of each student, teacher, parent, and community member.

🌟 Change Starts with Me
Rather than waiting for change, individuals are empowered to be proactive — and to lead it.

🌟 Empower Students to Lead Their Own Learning
When everyone has a voice, incredible synergy develops throughout classrooms, schools, and districts.

🌟 Educators and Families Partner to Develop the Whole Person
Schools and families work together to guide every child toward their own best life.

More Than a Program. A Culture.

Leadership at NC Cyber Academy isn't confined to a single class or lesson; it's part of who we are. From daily instruction to student goal-setting, Leader in Me is embedded into the fabric of our school culture, helping students build the self-leadership skills to succeed academically, socially, and personally.

Every Student. A Leader.

We believe leadership isn't reserved for a select few; it's a skill every student can build. At NC Cyber Academy, we're proud to help students discover their voice, own their goals, and lead with purpose.
