About Kittredge Leadership Academy
The Kittredge Leadership Academy (KLA) is a leadership development program designed to
empower current Kittredge Magnet School 4t h , 5t h and 6t h grade students to operate as
self-confident, resilient leaders among their peers, in and outside of school.
Academy sponsors will work with KLA members to develop leadership skills and equip students with quality tools to help them feel unique and important. The program’s goal is to increase academy members’ leadership knowledge while communicating their worth and potential in such a way that they cannot help but see it in themselves.
Who is eligible to apply? How many students are selected each year?
All current 4t h , 5t h , and 6t h grade students are eligible to apply. No more than 20 students will be
selected to make a year-long commitment as KLA members. Current KLA members may
continue involvement in the program, but must declare their intent to continue by Friday,
August 24, 2018 . Newly admitted 2018-2019 KLA member names will be announced and
students will be given a congratulatory letter welcoming them to the group.
What will my commitment look like?
In addition to becoming visible leaders within the school and community, Kittredge Leadership
Academy members will participate in:
-
? A team building retreat
-
? Two Atlanta area-college and or University tours. Sponsors work to schedule
tours for each semester. Tours will take place during the school day and require
