Enroll for K - 2Exposing children to a diversity of thought
Creating a space where kids can be kids and giving everyone the opportunity to grow confident in themselves
The Leadership School exists to grow our students’ leadership capacity through earnest engagement in an academically rigorous, culturally relevant, and relationship-oriented environment.
Students from The Leadership School will be recognizable by the leadership they display in every facet of their lives by achieving their own life goals, adding value to group projects and group work situations, and addressing societal needs in an equitable and inclusive manner.
Seats for our Founding First & Second Grade
Our inaugural year is well underway and we could not be more excited about the young leaders in our building.
Applications for 2023-24 will open later this fall but we are still accepting and reviewing applications on a rolling basis for first grade and second grade students.
We want to hear from our Founding Families
Listening sessions are opportunities for TLS families to provide input throughout the school year. We held our first listening session during FamU on Tuesday, September 20th. Families shared what was working, not working and what just needed a little tweaking in the areas of school culture, academics, and operations. If you were not able to attend the last meeting, feel free to give input at any time in the brief survey below. Also, save the date for the next listening session on December 13th, just before we end our first semester!

How we L.E.A.D.

We show great interest, collegiality and positivity in our interactions with all members of our community. We cultivate empathy through strong relationships and collaboration.
