Lead Academy is thrilled to share some exciting news! 🚍⚡

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our donors, we have officially secured enough funding to pre-order two new electric buses—and they are already being custom built for us!

We can’t wait to transition to clean, reliable transportation for our students in the 2026–27 school year. This milestone wouldn’t be possible without the continued support of our amazing community.

Thank you for helping us drive toward a brighter, greener future! 💚

All the feels 💙

We love being a school where our littles look up to our bigs! These special moments remind us just how proud we are of the leaders our middle schoolers are.

Leadership isn’t a single moment—it’s showing up day by day, caring for others, and setting the example. And our students do just that. 💫

Our second grade scientists are learning about what plants need to live and grow! 🌱

Before spring break, Nikeema Lee from Mahaba Floristry visited our classroom. She taught students about how plants grow and what they need to survive, introducing scientific terms like H₂O, carbon dioxide, germinate, and drainage. Students also learned how caring for plants helps them grow strong and healthy. 🌸

4th grade stepped back in time with a visit to Walnut Grove! 🕯️🏡

During their guided tour, students explored historic buildings and learned about the Moore Family, their settlement in the South Carolina Backcountry, their role in the Revolutionary War, and what everyday life looked like during Colonial times.

Students also participated in a candle-making class, discovering how candles were made and used in early American homes. It was a great hands-on way to bring history to life!

The team put in lots of time to learn facts about African American intentors and we are very proud of them!
