Our Mission

LeadAmerica, one of the nation’s educational leaders in personalized experiential learning, offers outstanding, high-achieving high school and middle school students the opportunity to gain valuable knowledge and the experience of real college life while they explore their future path and discover what inspires them most. We partner and collaborate with some of the top colleges and universities throughout the United States to offer college immersion programs designed to better prepare these students academically and emotionally for the transition to college life and beyond. Our mission is to build a more globally competitive America with college-bound students. Higher education of our youth is key, and the economic fate of today’s students is tied decisively to their educational success. There is a distinct and growing economic gap between those who have completed their college degree and those who have not. We are committed to closing that gap. LeadAmerica high school conferences are college-accredited, and all curriculum has been approved by the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP) for the seventh consecutive year.
