The Leadership program is committed to developing young citizens that possess leadership skills that are nurtured within and are demonstrated openly in service and responsibility to self, family, community, and country.
Our leadership schools use the Leader in Me model, to guide teachers and school leaders in adopting the paradigms of leadership that foster the mindsets and practices for optimal student achievement. The Leader in Me program builds cooperative relationships, nurtures responsibility, and develops the systems that give students the space to lead with confidence, learn with an open mind and achieve their goals. By developing the whole child – socially, emotionally, academically and ethically — the program fosters a climate of principle-centered personal leadership. The principles of Dr. Stephen R. Covey, internationally renowned consultant and author of the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and First Things First, are embedded in the school’s culture and guide the students, faculty and staff in building the leadership model.
