Welcome to American Leadership Academy

 

American Leadership Academy (ALA) is a K-12 tuition free public charter school located in Spanish Fork, Utah. While traditional public schools are not a bad option, we have become a popular alternative because we offer a more comprehensive experience.  Our students participate in programs like Dual Immersion, leadership training, and concurrent enrollment for more relevant education.  They are also encouraged to get involved in clubs, fine arts, and sports for their social and physical well being.  ALA is a school for students who want more than just a diploma.  Take a look below to see all the benefits ALA has to offer you.
