Glenn Way, Founder of American Leadership Academy
Glenn Way established American Leadership Academy (ALA) because he saw a need for a values-based, morally sound approach to K-12 education. Determined to protect the family unit and encourage children to discover their purpose, he envisioned schools that support both academic success and personal development. Glenn believes schools have a duty to strengthen each student’s self-awareness and moral grounding.
By challenging the traditional model, he aspired to spark reform that would promote emotional and intellectual growth in equal measure. Families and communities are at the heart of Glenn’s plan—he wants students to mature into responsible leaders and empathetic human beings.
We want our kids to learn why they were created—not just to become the best astronauts, plumbers, or mathematicians, but to become the best spouses, parents, citizens, and leaders. - Glenn Way, ALA Founder
