The vision of SLA is to build leaders one child at a time by changing their definition of reality. This change will allow our students to believe in their importance, know their potential, and seize their opportunities, which are fundamental concepts of leadership.

Through the transformation of our students, we ultimately aim to transform the Southwest community by bringing leadership, integrity, courage, concern and scholarship back into the community.

A Message From the New Principal

As the new principal of Southwest Leadership Academy Charter School, I would like to welcome you to the 2011-2012 school year.

Whether you are a parent of a continuing student or a new student to our school, I look forward to meeting you and working with you to make this school year meaningful and successful.
