Success Stories

Hear from parents and students who have experienced the iLeadership Academy difference.

"This academy really helps you develop your strengths and understand yourself, which is what I think colleges look for, like that individuality aspect. When you think about um personal growth, you think about academics, but here we were focusing more on on ourselves and how can we better not only like our abilities but our society. How can we better the world while also finding that balance between making money and finding what you love?"

Angela
Oxford Academy Student
"This academy has helped me further my understanding of what it means to be myself... I never really knew or to consider that it could be something that the world also needs. So maybe I should focus on that as well. First attending this academy, I was scared that I would be judged or like my personality wouldn't fit into the standards. But honestly, iLeadership Academy really like focuses on you as a person, which is what makes it so awesome."
