Preparing Future Leaders of the world

Welcome to Global Leadership Academy Schools where we offer scholars a pathway to success and opportunities to experience the world beyond their neighborhood.

Our scholars are given the tools to learn, grow, and most importantly, think globally, and act locally - through volunteerism and service to the community.

Our Impact

Global Leadership Academy Schools has created a culture of empowerment for each child that has entered our doors over the past 15 years.  Our talented staff has worked tirelessly to develop masterful curriculums, travel experiences, and access for inner-city scholars. Our purpose is to create an environment where our scholars can grow to see the world as their oyster.
