Join Our PrideWho We Are
Access to quality education is a right for all and has the power to transform communities.
We are an inclusive community, committed to supporting each child’s potential.
We value distinct perspectives and abilities, and work to foster growth for all our students, including students with disabilities and multilingual students.
We provide a comprehensive curriculum and opportunities for students to explore their unique interests.
Students grow their skills and talents through athletics, clubs, afterschool activities, college prep programs, and community partnerships.
We connect with students as individuals, recognizing their multifaceted identities, and support them in discovering who they are and how they can make a difference in the world.
Students have opportunities to explore their interests, reflect on their experiences, and engage with their communities in ways that build confidence, purpose, and a sense of responsibility beyond themselves.
We believe that family and school partnerships create the foundation for a strong school community.
We strive to provide all community members with the resources, support, and guidance they need to fulfill their highest potential.

“Now in high school, I’ve grown into the leader that I wanted to be, that I saw myself as when I was younger. Teachers and staff have supported me and introduced me to different organizations and programs to help me reach the full potential that I saw in myself.”

“My experience in Middle School has been great. I’m looking forward to going to Costa Rica with the World Scholars program. LION has given me a lot of good opportunities, including sports, clubs, and after-school tutoring. Our teachers are very supportive and welcomed me from the first day when I joined LION in 2nd Grade.”

"I am most inspired by my students. They work hard, and it is apparent that they are eager to learn and want to be better readers. They inspire me to show up and provide them with the tools they need to reach their goals."

“I feel the love for my child, the family, the warmth. Since being here, my son feels like a young man. He feels heard. He feels like his opinion matters.”

"I’m very happy with the teachers who work with our students. Thank you very much for everything. As a parent, I feel satisfied with the education that my children are receiving. Every child has different needs; sometimes they need different things, and you are always there, ready to support them with whatever our children need. Thank you."
