How Are We Different?

LEAO is an online distance learning program for Elementary through High School.  Work can be completed any time during the day or week.  However, to help students stay on pace, Resource Centers are provided in various locations to support student learning.

Support

At each Resource Center, students are under the supervision of highly qualified professionals to complete core coursework.

Hybrid Instruction

Core Classes, including Electives, are completed through online classes. Resource Centers offer in-person, certified staff where students can meet with instructors and participate in collaborative learning opportunities

Hours

Each student must complete a minimum of 30 hours a week. Students are able to log in time at the Resource Center or on their own time via the Internet.

Earn College Credit in High School

We offer multiple pathways for our students, including partnership with Grand Canyon University and Central Arizona College (Maricopa) to offer dual enrollment opportunities for students in Grades 10-12.

Mission & History

 

Leading Edge Academy will develop lifelong learners who lead with character and achieve academic excellence by educating the whole child and fostering community and parental partnerships.

 

Founded in 2002 by Delmer Geesey, a pastor with the vision of starting a top-notch traditional education program, Leading Edge Academy schools began with 17 students. Through word of mouth by satisfied parents, the school began to grow each year. In 2007 The Leading Edge Charter Network took this successful format and expanded to East Mesa. The Leading Edge Charter Network continues to expand and currently has school sites in East Mesa, Queen Creek, Gilbert and Maricopa.
