Leadership development

Global Leadership Academy Schools (GLA) strive to develop in every K-8 scholar an awareness of his or her own leadership potential and to create a spirit of leadership in the GLA community. GLA believes that Leadership Development, as an instructional goal, is committed to preparing Future Leaders of the World. 

Culturally Responsive Learning

Global Leadership Academy Schools (GLA) recognize the importance of including students' cultural references in all aspects of their learning. We also emphasize positive perspectives on parents, families, and communities. High expectations and accountability are essential parts of our Culturally Responsive Learning processes.

Small Learning Communities

Each school is divided into three learning communities, reflecting Global Leadership Academy Schools (GLA) “Schools within a School” model.

Those learning communities are:

Rising Stars: K-2/3

Legendary Leaders: 3-5/6

Collegiate Academy: 6-7/8

Our model is fashioned from Dr. Booker’s dissertation, Restructuring Into Small Learning Communities: A Model for Elementary School Improvement, April 2000.
