Program 1
THE PHILOSOPHY OF THE YOUNG LEADERS ACADEMY (YLA), A CHARTER SCHOOL OPERATED BY THE YMCA YOUTH LEADERSHIP ACADEMY, INC. IS A FOCUS ON CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT WHILE SETTING THE EXPECTATION THAT COLLEGE IS IN THE FUTURE OF EACH STUDENT WE SERVE. YLA IS ONE OF THE HIGHER PERFORMING ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS IN THE CITY OF MILWAUKEE. STAFF IS DIVERSE AND FOCUSED ON THE ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT OF THE STUDENTS, ALONG WITH A HIGH LEVEL OF PARENTAL SUPPORT AND INVOLVEMENT. EVERY PART OF THE SCHOOL DAY REINFORCES THE VALUES AND EXPECTATIONS OF BOTH STUDENTS AND YLA EDUCATORS. YLA STRIVES TO COMBINE THE BENEFICIAL RIGORS OF A CLASSICAL EDUCATION WITH THE LATEST IN TECHNOLOGY AND THE BEST TEACHING AND LEARNING PRACTICES. AS A RESULT, YLA HAS IMPLEMENTED THE MEASURES OF ACADEMIC PROGRESS (MAP) EXAM AND THE ONLINE TUTORING SOFTWARE, COMPASS LEARNING. THE IMPLEMENTATION OF MAP AND COMPASS LEARNING ALLOWS YLA TO CONTINUE IN PROVIDING THE STUDENTS WITH A HIGH QUALITY ACADEMIC EXPERIENCE.
