OUR PHILOSOPHY

Dr. Coats established The Leona Group with the belief that all children, regardless of ethnicity, economic status or educational disadvantage, can learn and achieve. This belief is foundational to The Leona Group, permeates throughout the entire organization and culture, and is vibrant in each Leona-managed school.

Any child can learn just about anything if it is presented in a way that is relevant. We know that when children believe something is important, when they are able to make connections in how academics translate into meaning in their lives… they WILL learn it!

The Leona Group works to provide students a safe, nurturing and respectful learning environment while maintaining high standards of instruction. The overarching goal is to improve student learning and achievement in core subject areas, while maintaining a keen focus on educating the whole child – academically, socially and behaviorally.
