iLEAD Spring Meadows, located in Holland, Ohio, is a tuition-free public charter school that serves students in grades K–8. The school distinguishes itself through a project-based learning (PBL) model, which emphasizes hands-on, real-world application of academic concepts.

By maintaining a small-school environment and integrating technology with personalized instruction, iLEAD Spring Meadows strives to cultivate not only academic proficiency but also the character development and self-directed habits necessary for students to succeed as lifelong learners.

* Charter Schools: A public charter school is a publicly funded school that operates independently under a legislative contract (or "charter") with a state, school district, or designated authorizing entity. Charters grant these schools greater operational flexibility over curriculum, staffing, and budgeting in exchange for strict accountability to achieve performance standards established in their charter agreement.

¹ National School Lunch Program (NSLP): The National School Lunch Program is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).
