About Us
The Academy
At The Academy, we think the hours before the first bell and after the last are too valuable to waste. Our program gives kids a welcoming place to land—one where safety, encouragement, and a healthy dose of curiosity all come standard. We mix homework help with creative play and outdoor time, so children sharpen their minds while also building friendships and life skills. For families, that means peace of mind; for kids, it’s a chance to grow, explore, and head home each day feeling heard, capable, and ready for whatever comes next.
How We're Different
- Families Come First: We see parents and caregivers as teammates, not spectators. Expect friendly check-ins, quick updates, and plenty of chances to jump in—whether that’s sharing a skill during activity time or chatting with staff about your child’s next milestone.
- Whole-Child Focus: Reading skills matter, but so do big feelings and new friendships. Our day balances academic warm-ups with games that teach cooperation, empathy, and problem-solving, helping kids feel both prepared for class and comfortable in their own skin.
- Staff Who Never Stop Learning: Our team loves what they do and keeps sharpening their craft through regular training. That means fresh ideas in the art corner, current best practices for behavior support, and an extra dose of creativity whenever a child asks, “What if we tried…?”

Our Mission
We believe that every child deserves access to high-quality care, enriching educational experiences, and a supportive community. By focusing on personalized attention and intentional programming, we empower children to explore their interests, develop essential life skills, and build a strong foundation for future success.
Our Commitment
- Safety & Peace of Mind: Secure entry, attentive staff, and clear routines keep our center calm and protected, giving children room to explore—and parents one less thing to worry about.
- Curiosity-Driven Learning: We turn big questions into hands-on projects that stretch thinking and spark “I did it!” moments. It’s homework help plus the kind of discovery that fuels a lifelong love of learning.

The Academy Founder
Glenn Way, founder of American Leadership Academy, brought his vision of values-driven learning into the after-school hours when he launched The Academy. He saw the need for a safe, lively place where kids could keep growing once classes ended—and where working parents could count on reliable care. Today, The Academy reflects the same pillars that shape his schools: strong character, academic support, and whole-child development. Under Glenn’s guidance, families gain flexible, high-quality before- and after-care options, and students head home each day a little more confident, curious, and ready for what’s next.
