Our Location

American Leadership Academy Blythewood K–12 is located at 10301 Wilson Blvd., Blythewood, SC 29016, just off Interstate 77 at Exit 24. The campus lies between the highway interchange and Blythewood’s town center, in a quiet, accessible part of northern Richland County. Set on open land with developing infrastructure nearby, the school is situated across from the new Scout Motors facility. Though growth is underway around the site, the immediate surroundings remain largely green and quiet. Parks, restaurants, and shops, including those around Doko Meadows, are only a few minutes north of campus.
