THE LEADERSHIP ACADEMY
The Leadership Academy encompasses Leadership, LeadHERship, High School Prep, and personalized Teen Life Coaching. The work we do and the areas we explore are instrumental in building strong leadership skills, and in developing confidence as today's teens navigate social dynamics, develop personal brand, and discover their own unique gifts. Each of my classes is designed to help develop the leaders of tomorrow by strengthening inner confidence and growing interpersonal skills with others.
"Literally the best, most valuable program I've ever signed the girls up for." | Kelly Calabria, parent
"The Leadership Academy's High School Prep class gave Peter such a good foundation in some of the non-academic skills that are essential for success in high school, including organization, planning, and communication. I highly recommend it, and especially for this group of junior high students who missed out on much of the normal preparation leading up to high school." | Kristy Cory, parent
"I just wanted to say thank you for all the work you have done with the kids. It's amazing! I have seen many of your worksheets, and overheard a couple of the classes via video conference. The content and engagement are excellent. Frankly, I think this is the most valuable class Elliott has taken of all the classes in junior high." | Steve Carnegie, parent
"Mrs. Lockard's high school prep class totally transformed the way I plan and execute my academic workload. The skills I learned throughout the course guided me through stressful weeks, and helped me to continue to be a driven and organized student." | Lauren Vance, student
"I want to tell you how thankful I am to have you in our lives. You have brought such a step up in the kids' behavior, as well as accountability to their work and the way they present themselves. They would not be where they are now without you. You are exceptional." | Corinne Jarvis, parent
