At Leman Academy of Excellence, a tuition-free classical education charter school, we believe every scholar has unique strengths waiting to shine. Our model blends rigorous academics with timeless character development, helping students grow in both wisdom and virtue.
Scholar leadership and classical education go hand in hand. While our curriculum emphasizes reading, writing, and critical thinking, leadership often emerges through creative expression and community activities. These moments show how learning extends beyond textbooks — in the confidence to lead, the courage to speak up, and the joy of learning together.
Recently, one of our Virtual Campus scholars, Rev, demonstrated how powerful this connection can be. Normally quiet and reserved, Rev stepped out of her comfort zone to lead an art club session for her classmates. With encouragement from Mrs. Cook, who creates a safe and supportive classroom, Rev guided her peers through a hands-on creative project. The experience not only inspired classmates but even motivated Principal Campos to pick up a pencil and join in to draw a dog!
Mrs. Cook reflected, “When scholars feel safe, they take risks, and that’s where the real growth happens. Watching Rev lead her classmates was such a proud moment.”
Moments like these reveal what makes Leman Virtual Academy unique. Even though our scholars learn online, they still connect, collaborate, and inspire one another daily. Teachers build meaningful relationships with students and help them develop essential skills such as initiative, empathy, and self-confidence. Because of that supportive environment, students feel empowered to share ideas, lead groups, and take ownership of their learning.
At Leman, leadership is more than a title — it’s a way of living out our core virtues. Whether scholars are hosting a club, leading a discussion, or helping a classmate, they are learning to use their gifts to serve others and build community. These small moments prepare them for success in high school and beyond.
