LEADERS IN TRAINING

The Silver Creek Leadership Academy just collected applications from the graduating class of 2016.  Our students, who began the program, will be seniors next fall. So much has happened and so much continues to happen.  While we are thrilled with the progress there is much work to be done!   When the school year kicks off next fall we hope to have 250 students in our program. 


A quick sampling of the curriculum:


Complete overview- 
We exist to help students find their strengths and unleash their potential to lead.
We operate under the premise that there are 6 main leadership skills, and while mastering them will take a lifetime, a solid understanding of them while in high school will set students on a path for success.

THE BIG 6 

• Ethics
• Respect 
• Critcal and Creative thinking 
• Teamwork 
• Vision 
• Communication   
•  

 9th grade-  Introduction to Leadership
What is leadership?  What are the skills that help leaders be successful? What is my roadmap for success? How do I make a difference now?


10th grade- Global and Cultural Leadership 
What are the cultural commonalities that connect people? How do I become more respectful? How do leaders make a difference around the world?

11th grade- Local and Community Leadership 
How do I make a difference in my community here and now?  How do I deal with difficult people? How do I become a better listener?  What projects can I do to help my community?

12th grade- Senior Capstone Project 
Students select a project, and while working with a mentor create an impactful project.

How do we do that?  With a hands-on, experiential learning module that combines real life applications with solid course work.
