This school used to be great! However, since leaving to attend public high school, I found that I was Not up to current high school standards! I just about failed math due to the fact that there is no standard educational plan. The only people who cared were Mr. David Whitlock (Teacher) and Mr. Timothy

I was a student that attended this school last year. I was in the American Leadership School. I would have to say that my year at this school was the best year of my life. I DID NOT learn much though. I actually wanted to attend the school again because I was affraid to attend public school because I
... Read more thought I would be behind. The American Leadership School has a lesson plan where you teach yourself. Teaching yourself reffers to a teacher not standing at a board all day and teaching you, but sitting at their desk watching you read books and teach yourself. I didn't understand how to do that. In other words, I did not have a good learning experience there. I enjoyed this school because of the people. I would go to this school again if there was a different learning environment. :) Read less

This is the 3rd year that my daughter has gone to this school and she dosent want to attend any other school. She feels at home in the small classes and she has learned to respect the Country and what it is all about. In every school you will have some super teachers and some not so wounderful teachers.

The American Leadership School is helping two of my grandchildren practice self-discipline. One is especially thriving in the Music program. The other loves the Horsemanship time. I like that they learn to wear the patriotic uniform correctly everyday, and have community service opportunities. The Mentors

I'm so sorry the previous parent had a bad experience, but most of her comments had nothing to do with the school itself, just some overprotective parents! I just wanted to say that the High School portion of Eagles Aerie -- The American Leadership School -- is an amazing and unique option among free
... Read more public schools! The class rooms look like Fortune 500 board rooms, and the kids are treated with maturity and respect. They design much of their own curriculum and the teachers act as 'mentors'. The teachers are mostly great (especially Mr. Whitlock!) and there is a serious focus on discipline and respect. It isn't for every student (for example, no team sports) but for some students it is just the individualized education they need! Read less

I sent my 6th grader to this school and I must say that it is a terrible school. There was an entire lack of focus on academics and I do not feel that the school was adequately preparing my son for high school or college. In addition to this while I believe that it is okay for parents to be involved

How can a child learn and develop new relationships if their mother is always there hovering over them and distracting them. As a final note while morals and values are valuable in life, last time I checked they didn't get you into college. I advise you strongly not to send your child to this school! Read less

A 'mormon' school? That's ridiculous! Most of the teacher's as well as the students aren't 'mormon'! It IS however a patriotic, conservative school whos teachings are Christian-centered (as much as allowed in a public school), so if this offends you, you won't be comfortable here. But for most students,
