School Overview

Englewood Leadership Academy (ELA), located on S. Logan Street in Englewood, Colorado, is a specialized educational program operating within the Englewood Schools district. Designed to serve students who may benefit from a non-traditional learning environment, the academy emphasizes personal growth, credit recovery, and the development of leadership skills. By providing a more flexible and individualized approach to instruction, the school aims to help students who have struggled in conventional classroom settings stay on track for graduation and prepare for life after high school.

The academy’s philosophy centers on the idea that every student possesses unique strengths that can be cultivated through mentorship and goal-oriented learning. ELA typically offers a smaller, more intimate campus setting where staff can provide closer academic support and social-emotional guidance. By prioritizing both academic achievement and the development of personal responsibility, the Englewood Leadership Academy strives to empower its students to overcome barriers, build self-confidence, and transition successfully into post-secondary education or the workforce.
