Glenn Way, Founder of American Leadership Academy

Glenn Way Headshot

Challenging traditional educational models, Glenn Way championed the creation of American Leadership Academy (ALA). Here, he placed special focus on forging an environment where character and purpose are regarded as necessary building blocks of success. A deeply-held belief in the sacredness of the family guides his educational priorities.

He insists that true achievement is measured by how children ultimately conduct themselves within their future homes and careers, embodying leadership that’s deeply moral.

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
