Who It's For
Is Leaders 4SC right for my child?
Leaders 4SC is built for curious middle schoolers who are ready to be taken seriously. If any of these sound like your child, they'll thrive here.
A great fit for students who…
- Have opinions and love to share them — or have opinions and are learning to share them.
- Are curious about the world: the news, big questions, how things work and why.
- Want to get more comfortable speaking up, in class and out.
- Like writing or debate — the kind of kid who argues their case at the dinner table.
- Are curious about AI and would love to build something real with it.
- Care about an issue — the environment, fairness, animals, their school — and want to do something about it.
- Are shy or reluctant speakers who'd benefit from a supportive place to practice.
What we ask of students
An open mind, a willingness to try, and respect for classmates. That's it. No prior experience with debate, writing, or AI is needed — we teach everything from the ground up.
Ages & grades
Designed for rising grades 5–9 (roughly ages 10–14) — upper-elementary through early-high-school students.
For families
An academic-enrichment day program designed to feel energizing, not stressful. With at least one instructor per seven students, everyone gets attention and encouragement.
What your child will walk away with
- More confidence speaking and being heard
- The ability to build and defend an argument
- A finished portfolio: a speech, an op-ed, an AI pitch
- Real experience with AI tools and the ethical questions around them
- Habits of a civic leader: curiosity, humility, responsibility, and the drive to act
- New friends who take ideas seriously
