Barack Obama Leadership Academy
Welcome
Thank you for visiting Barack Obama Leadership Academy’s website. We
invite you to come to our school to see first-hand our educational program.
We believe that a rigorous academic program combined with social-
emotional support and an African Centered methodology leads to scholarly
success. Barack Obama Leadership Academy’s academic program reflects
the practices that are associated with high-performing urban schools: more
time on task; standards-based instruction; research-based curricula;
regular assessments; online learning opportunities for homework; and
horizon-broadening enrichment opportunities. The staff provides hands-on
learning experiences with a strong emphasis on teaching the State of
Michigan Core curriculum with small groups that have worked on the level
of their learning. We supplement the state curriculum with examples of
students’ environments and African people that made accomplishments in
that area of study.
