Admissions

Lead Academy is a public charter school located in Greenville, SC. There is no prerequisite for entrance into Lead Academy. Any family that resides in the state of South Carolina and is willing to make the necessary commitment is welcome to apply. Such a commitment requires that all stakeholders (parents, students, and teachers) possess a steadfast determination to realize the mission of the school.

In accordance with South Carolina Charter School Law, Lead Academy admits all students through a lottery process. Students are required to complete an application for admission to Lead Academy. To be included in the lottery process, all applicants are required to complete and submit the application by the designated deadline.
