Mission: The Leadership School exists to grow our students’ leadership capacity through earnest engagement in an academically rigorous, culturally relevant, and relationship-oriented environment.
Vision: 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.
We are growing to include 4th Grade!
Our Fall 2024 Enrollment Kindergarten through 4th Grade student leaders will open in December 2023.
How we L.E.A.D.
We believe that a culture built on these core values will create a safe and supportive learning environment that represents the essence of our school. We believe children who are cared for, and believed in, will develop the capacity to believe in, and care for, themselves and others.
Love
We show great interest, collegiality and positivity in our interactions with all members of our community. We cultivate empathy through strong relationships and collaboration.
Excellence
We always strive for our ”good” to become “better”, and our “better” to become our “best”. This applies to all areas, not just education, and for all members of the community.
Authenticity
We ensure alignment of our learning to authentic work, hold ourselves to the highest levels of integrity, employ just and equitable practices, and remain true to our mission at all times.
Discipline
We set and accomplish our personal and collective goals. In the face of adversity, we stay the course, persevere, and accomplish the task.
