ALA Blythewood was created to meet a growing need for more educational choice in the Blythewood area. As the community continues to grow, families are looking for schools that offer strong academics, clear values, and a place where students can feel known and supported.

We want ALA Blythewood to be a place where families gather, students form lasting friendships, teachers make a meaningful impact, and generations of children grow through the same school culture. From the first day of kindergarten to the final walk toward graduation, our goal is to create a campus that becomes an important part of students’ lives and the community’s future.

Our Founder

Glenn Way founded American Leadership Academy with a vision to provide families with a strong K–12 educational experience rooted in academic excellence, character development, leadership, and values-based learning. His goal was to create schools that support the family while helping students grow in a moral and wholesome environment.

That founding vision continues at ALA Blythewood. As the campus serves families in Blythewood and the surrounding communities, Glenn’s commitment to education, character, and family partnership remains central to the school’s purpose.
