Academics at ALA Radiance
Preparing Students to Learn, Lead, and Change the World!
At American Leadership Academy, academics are designed to support students from the early grades through graduation. Our elementary school experience helps students build strong foundations in core subjects, character, and learning habits, while our upper school experience prepares students for junior high success, high school graduation, college, career pathways, and life beyond ALA.
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.

Flexible Schedule Options
At select ALA campuses, families may have access to both 4-day and 5-day school week options. This model is designed to provide families with more flexibility while maintaining strong academic expectations and consistent instruction. Students receive core instruction Monday through Thursday. For students enrolled in the 5-day option, Fridays may provide additional support, review, enrichment, project-based learning, and reinforcement.
