Latest News: A New Chapter Begins at Evergreen Leadership Academy

This September marks a major milestone in our journey: Evergreen Leadership Academy officially begins its first school year as a fully aligned Apogee Affiliate.

What does that mean? It means our students are now part of a growing movement of schools that put leadership, fitness, personal growth, and real-world skills at the heart of education. As an Apogee Affiliate, we’ve taken Evergreen’s unique foundation and aligned it with a proven framework that challenges young people to rise higher — in academics, in character, and in life.

A Day at Evergreen, Reimagined
Personal Growth Block (9:00–9:40): Each day begins with intention. Students set goals, build habits, and dive into personal interests — from chess to woodworking to entrepreneurship — learning how to manage themselves before they manage the world.
Fitness (9:40–10:00): Movement is medicine. Daily training builds strength, resilience, and confidence. Students quickly see proof that effort creates change.
Core Learning Block (10:00–12:00): A concentrated two-hour window of academics designed for mastery, not busywork. Students move beyond rote learning into disciplined, self-driven scholarship.
Project-Based Learning (1:30–2:45): Afternoons come alive with challenges and missions — from survival skills and entrepreneurship to cultural explorations and engineering design. These are not “school projects.” They are launchpads for imagination, leadership, and impact.

Why It Matters
Education today often falls into the trap of measuring success by grades alone. At Evergreen, aligned with Apogee, success is measured by the skills, habits, and mindset that prepare students for life. Students at Evergreen are not passengers being carried through school; they are drivers of their own growth.

Looking Ahead
This year will see students take on multi-week challenges, service projects, fitness milestones, and leadership opportunities that will push them to grow stronger, think deeper, and act bolder. Parents will notice the difference not only in their child’s academics, but in their confidence, discipline, and joy in learning.
