The Academy of Leaders and Technology is dedicated
to developing the leadership potential in all children. We want to
surface whatever natural ability and desire exists within our students,
and guide them to develop the skills needed to excel as “leaders” in
the 21st century. We strive to nurture your child’s love of reading, writing, math, arts and/or sports. We
seek opportunities for your child experience leadership in and outside
of school. They will only be middle-schoolers for three years, but will
be members of our society for a long time to come. Our mission reflects
this desire to educate beyond the walls of the classroom. Members in our Academy identify problems, seek solutions, and take action to bring about positive change. Leaders work to better themselves and the world around them.

The Academy of Community and Technology engages
students with rigorous academics and unique resources from our
neighborhood, city, and world. Students will become active citizens and
responsible pioneers in society. Through connections to outside
business and organizations, real life experiences will shape each
child’s development intellectually, socially and emotionally. Students
will formulate a sense of self-awareness and unity as they explore
their personal identities and roles as participants in a community.
They will engage in academic integration and enrichment activities that
will help make positive changes in the student’s geographic and
cultural community. Our young adults will develop understanding and
compassion through active involvement.
