PERSPECTIVES - LEADERSHIP HS
About the school
Perspectives Leadership Academy (PLA) prepares all students for college success, equipped with the tools to become reflective, ethical leaders engaged in a meaningful life. PLA will be moving Fall 2019 to a new state-of the-art campus in Chatham and serves 300 students in grades 9-12. PLA provides effective programs that develop our students into leaders of positive social change. PLA partners with professionals to provide mentorship opportunities and the implementation of a strategic plan that infuses leadership development into all facets of the school. PLA offers AP classes and Dual Enrollment in partnership with City Colleges. Students can also participate in over 50 afterschool programs and athletic teams. Perspectives also serves students grades 6-8 at this campus. Our middle academy teaches through personalized learning, combining tailored classroom instruction with an online curriculum called Summit, which allows students to work at their pace, track their work and receive personalized instruction based on where they’re at.
