LEAD Academy

Starting this day off with a special surprise for the kids. Thanks for visiting Reedy!

For years, Lead Academy has proudly provided free breakfast and lunch for all our students. Today, we are honored to share that we have been selected to receive a generous grant from the ScanSource Charitable Foundation to help continue this vital work.

We are incredibly grateful for ScanSource’s support and for the impact they continue to make across Greenville. Thank you for your partnership and for helping us ensure our students are nourished and ready to learn each day! 🧡🍎✨

🌟 Health that lasts a lifetime! 🌟
Mrs. S does an amazing job making health class relevant and engaging. This week, our middle schoolers are learning that health has many dimensions—not just physical fitness.

To demonstrate their learning, students are creating awareness campaigns to teach their peers that being truly healthy means caring for the mind, body, finances, and more.

We love seeing our middle schoolers engaged in meaningful learning they can carry with them for life! 💚📚

Congratulations to our Beginning Band, Concert Band, and Honor Band!
Your hard work all semester was on full display last night. You absolutely mesmerized the audience with your talent, dedication, and the pride you bring to your music. We are so proud of you! 🎶👏

How great is it that we can learn straight from the experts? Thank you to WYFF News 4 Meteorologist Bradford Ambrose and Greenville City Councilwoman Lillian Brock Flemming for visiting campus last week.

At Lead, we believe school should be fun and we should challenge ourselves to try new things. Starting this morning off thinking about the amazing time we had at The Well yesterday. Thanks again to all the staff at Bon Secours Wellness Arena and our staff for making this special day happen!

When a Tuesday at school means smiles on the ice!

Thank you so much to Bon Secours Wellness Arena for making today the most memorable school day! There was so much joy out on the ice!

These amazing staff members have a December birthday. Please send them some birthday shine!

At Lead, we want students to have experiences that enrich their learning. It makes us so happy to see third grade at the Children's Museum getting hands on and having fun!

This Giving Tuesday, we’re inviting our community to invest in the future of Lead Academy students. Every gift—big or small—helps us provide an engaging education and opportunities our students deserve. Together, we can help every child Be Nice. Work Hard. Serve Well. Have Fun. 💚

This Lead Serves Week, our students had a blast serving well and honoring those who serve! We kicked off Fun Friday with an incredible performance from our band and a special visit from the Mauldin High Honor Guard. From there, students jumped into boot camp–style challenges and rolled up their sleeves for service projects supporting the Humane Society.

Join us in wishing these amazing staff members a Happy November Birthday! We are thankful for all they do!

Our 8th graders took their cell division learning to the next level! 🧫✨
Some created amazing posters and videos, while others stepped into the role of teacher — leading lessons on mitosis and meiosis for our 5th–7th graders. We love seeing our students teach and inspire one another! 💡📚

8th graders had the opprtunity to gets hands-on with their science learning on Friday with a trip to Clemson University's labs. Students put knowledge of chromosomes to the test with comparing sequences of genes to determine the culprit of a crime. Students learned how to use micropipettes and witnessed gel electrophoresis!

The Lead Reads fun continued yesterday with a middle school Author's Open Mic, a K-2 EdReach performance, a 5th grade trip the Greenville Art Museum, a K-2 book art parade and visit from local author and speaker Janiece Robinson with 3rd and 4th grade. Families, all this is possible through your donations and support of our POP fundraiser - thank you so much!

A picture is worth 1,000 words. This pretty much sums up our feelings about Lead Reads Week. We are having a blast and would love to thank the community partners that made it all possible: Ard, Wood, Holcombe, & Slate Architects, Paige Helms, Carolina Ballon Company, Chef 360 Catering, Mauldin Family Dentistry, Bold Move Intl, The Greenville Symphony Orchestra, M. Judson Booksellers, Swanson's Warehouse, Marley Art, Mary Kay Driscoll, Greenville First Steps, the Rotary Club of the Reedy River and Book Warehouse Easley.
