THE BOND LEADERSHIP ACADEMY
Program temporarily on-hold: Contact BOND if you have a student or are an educator interested in discussing the future of BOND Leadership Academy.
LEADERSHIP ACADEMY
Where boys become men and men become leaders
A private, grades 1-12 school for boys that emphasizes a strong belief in God, critical life skills, initiative and creativity for a lifetime of success. We offer a mixture of in-class study and satellite (off campus) classes.
Today’s education system is largely focused on imparting specific knowledge to students so that they can hopefully survive in the world, and possibly get a job in the future. In contrast, The BOND Leadership Academy prepares students to think for themselves.
They are taught not only how to get a job, but also taught how to create a job, or a business, or an independent trade. Our students are also taught life skills, to help them not just survive, but thrive in our ever-challenging world.
COURSE OVERVIEW:
Our core courses of study are: Mathematics, English/Language Arts, Science and Social Science/History. We also offer Fine Arts, Health and Physical Education. In addition, we offer satellite courses and special classes, which are now available to homeschoolers too.
MATHEMATICS

- Stimulating writing prompts students to express themselves on a wide variety of topics.
- Students present classic prose and poetry from memory in front of a crowd, developing poise and presentation skills.
- In-depth discussions about movies shown in class, as well as texts read in order to stimulate critical thinking skills and foster a student’s ability to form his own opinion.

TESTIMONIALS
At BOND Academy, the teachers are patient. They don’t rush. They make sure we learn first before going on. They don’t teach in a way that’s boring. They make it fun for us so we can learn better. I’m better at math. I used to not like it so much, but now I like it. I’m getting better at grammar too, learning things I didn’t know before. I also like the workshop that teaches us how to cut wood and pipes. Our teacher told us one day we can learn to pour concrete and build houses!
