ALA Academics
American Leadership Academy is a K-12 Charter School that is rooted in American values and cultivates future leaders in a safe and supportive environment. Our dedicated teachers guide students to become self-directed learners, ensuring a transformative educational experience for every child.
Academic achievement and student success are our highest priorities. In the elementary our Spanish Dual Immersion students are performing 20% higher than the national average. In the secondary ALA students are encouraged to earn their Associate Degree with up to 15% of our graduating seniors earning that degree and up to 60% graduating with up to 12 or more college credits. This provides them with the key skills and competencies they need to be prepared for higher education or a skilled profession in the workplace, along with the knowledge to excel in life.
The staff is committed to setting high standards and maintaining the best educational environment for all students. We expect our students to make a personal commitment to achieve, while being involved in co-curricular and extracurricular student activities. Through these experiences we cultivate academic excellence and prepare students to be leaders in the classroom, on the field and on the stage.
Founded in 2005, and supported by both state and public funding, ALA exists to provide 1,800 students with a challenging, innovative, and result-oriented education based on the belief that parental partnership is critical to student success. Students at American Leadership Academy learn the values and principles of leadership, character development, accountability, respect, and physical well-being with academic excellence as ALA’s primary focus.
The American Leadership Academy (ALA) Charter School is a school that is supported with state and public education funds but organized and operated privately. Charter schools are established by groups of teachers, parents, or others who wish to create public educational alternatives to existing public school systems.
