Mission & Vision

  • Our Mission

    The Foster Leadership Academy provides individualized education, treatment, and leadership skills to children impacted by childhood trauma.

  • Our Vision

    All students surviving childhood trauma will have access to a quality, trauma-informed education.

CORE VALUES

Empathy. Empowerment. Education.

Before children find success, they must utilize the power of education. Before children can focus on education, they must build hope, dignity and strength within themselves. Before children can feel empowered, they must be seen, heard and understood. This is the promise of the Fostering Leadership Academy. At the Fostering Leadership Academy K-8 education center, students will receive individualized curriculum through trauma-informed education practices.

  1. Experiential Learning

    We help children connect with their surroundings in new ways, so they discover what is meaningful to them in the moment and in the future.

  2. Community

    A child’s educational success in large part depends on families, educators, peers and relevant members of the community.

  3. Collaboration

    Sharing new experiences and solving problems with others leads to a greater sense of connectedness – as well as meaningful learning experiences.

  4. Proven Models

    Several important learning models have been developed by educators around the world. The human connection must be a key component of learning.
