Glenn Way, Founder of American Leadership Academy
American Leadership Academy originated from Glenn Way’s hope of merging rigorous coursework with moral responsibility. Rather than focusing solely on test results, he envisioned a system that cherishes family unity and shapes community-oriented youth. Under his leadership, ALA helps students embrace their calling to become both professionals and pillars of future households.
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
