At Lead Academy we desire to create EPIC leaders. Leaders exhibit empathy, perseverance, integrity, and curiosity. We are proud to share this example of one of our virtual 1st grade students demonstrating empathy. As her classmate struggled with a response, she held up her dry erase board on which she had written, "I believe in you." At Lead Academy we believe in our students. We believe that every child can achieve at an exceptionally high level.

Lead Academy currently has one spot on their Board of Directors becoming vacant for a parent board member. If you or a parent of a student you know is interested in serving on the Lead Academy Board of Directors, please use this form to nominate them. Nominations must be received by April 2nd. https://forms.gle/pcGHDwUqbwKnoEsn9
