“All relationships begin with an invitation. It’s my honor to invite you to join our school familia, a community that nurtures love of language and learning in our school culture grounded in our LEEP virtues, nuestras virtudes. Every day, our students learn Respeto/Respect, Valentia/Courage, Gratitud/Gratitude, Alegria/Joy, and Cariño/Caring. At LEEP Academy, we also believe that these virtues must be passed on through generations, taught in our family, and lived by our elders. I learned these virtues in the Hispanic communities of my youth in Texas, and I hope to carry these forward in LEEP Dual Language Academies. We offer a unique educational experience for all children, because we believe that every child is unique, every child is gifted, and every child can be enriched by a diverse, multilingual community of learners.“
