OUR PHILOSOPHY

The Leona Group on autonomy in charter schools

Foundational to The Leona Group is our philosophy about students: that every child can and will learn, regardless of ethnicity, economic or educational disadvantage.

These founding beliefs drive The Leona Group's commitment to excellence in elementary, middle and high school classrooms across the country.

Admission to all Leona Group schools is free. Our schools do not charge tuition nor discriminate in admissions policies or practices on the basis of intellectual or athletic ability, measures of achievement or aptitude, status as a handicapped person, religion, creed, race, sex, color or national origin.

  • About schools is that every family deserves quality choice in free public education. Leona provides quality education options that are safe, nurturing and responsive to individual student needs.
  • About parents is that families play an important role in student success. Leona Group schools encourage family participation in many ways, and work to establish close and meaningful connections with parents/guardians.
  • About teachers is that to have life changing schools, you must have world-class teachers. Do you remember a very special teacher who impacted your life in a significant and positive way? We try hard to hire that teacher - every time.
  • About communities is that Leona Group charter schools must strive not only to be a part of the community - but also to become pillars of support to their neighbors.
 

The Leona Group has a proven, growing and financially sustainable model for successful  schools in urban areas.

While there is much work to be done to expand educational choices like these, there are many examples of how Leona Group charter schools are making an impact on education.
