Who We Are
Evergreen Leadership Academy was founded with a clear vision: to create a place where children could grow into strong, capable, values-driven individuals, without the limits of traditional schooling. We were inspired by a simple truth: every child has the potential to lead, but too often, school teaches them to follow.
Frustrated by the rigidity and misalignment of mainstream education, our founders sought a different path. One where students are respected, not managed. Where learning is rooted in purpose. And where each child is empowered to build the life they want, with the tools to lead it.
Every child should have agency over their time, mindset, and learning.
We teach kids to pursue clear goals and take purposeful action.
Growth happens when freedom meets responsibility.
Integrity, courage, and humility are taught and modeled daily.
Adventure
Learning should be joyful, challenging, and real-world connected.
We cultivate deep connection between students, guides, and families.
