Glenn Way, Founder of American Leadership Academy
Believing that strong families are central to national strength, Glenn Way formed American Leadership Academy as a place to nourish mind and spirit alike. No longer satisfied with schools that overlook moral development, he designed ALA to highlight leadership values and purposeful living.
His conviction stands: if children realize their potential as future spouses and parents, they stand a better chance of making a lasting positive mark on society.
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
