Old Vision, New Directions & Goals

In contemplating the future direction of Liberty Academy and it's partnership with American Leadership Academy, the Liberty Board of Directors has been discussing a return to the Original Founder's vision of a small high school program which would serve approximately 200 students in grades 9-12.

During the 2007-08 school year, the Liberty Board, was in agreement that Liberty would expand the elementary grades up to the 8th grade only. This thinking came as the Board contemplated increased competition with new local high schools and expenses involved in the differentiated program of the secondary grades. However, with a pulse on special needs of students at both schools and continuing unmet needs in the community, the Board has approved the exploration of concepts to form a new academic program for high school grades 9-12 which will be housed at the Liberty campus. With the creative use of resources between schools the goal would be to provide a unique program that will serve unmet educational needs in an exceptional way.

The Leadership In Learning program will be designed to benefit a small group of secondary students who have a willingness and capacity for increased independent learning, a desire to explore post-secondary education and training options, and/or would benefit from varied and creative learning methods and environments. Additionally, this program will have a strong service component, a focus on local/global community issues and allow students a rich experience with technology.
