Global Leadership Academy (K-12)

"Preparing Today's Students for Tomorrow's World"

At Global Leadership Academy, students explore daily lesson plans through an international lens. Beginning in kindergarten, students delve into international concepts and can graduate fluent and experienced in more than one language and culture. As a K-12 school, siblings can share in their educational experiences and families can enjoy the consistency of one school calendar. Students are taught that great leadership skills begin with themselves, their classrooms and their school community. These skills quickly expand to include their local community, state, nation and global community. At GLA, team building activities teach students about leadership, performance and achievement. Positive reinforcement is practiced in every classroom. Teachers use differentiated instruction to support all learning styles. All kindergarten - sixth graders excel in well-executed academic programs in reading, writing, and math. Seventh through tenth graders are placed on a college preparatory track to prepare them for their post-secondary career.

Global Leadership Academy is characterized by:

  • Students investigate relevant issues.
  • Research conducted inside and outside of the classroom with experts from a variety of professions.
  • Personalized support for students from dedicated teachers.
  • Opportunities for intensive elective courses, internships and independent studies.
