Welcome to Global Leadership Academy!

At Global Leadership Academy we nurture the leaders of tomorrow with our commitment to academic excellence and global-mindedness. We have a vibrant school culture rooted in relationships and connection.

Science Fair Winners!

GLA students John B. and Faith C. won 2nd place at the Mapleton District Science Fair for their Chemistry research on The Decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide. Their "experiment demonstrated that catalysts lower the activation energy required for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide", and that "the rate of reaction was found to be dependent on the nature and amount of the catalyst used".

Student Astrid C. also completed a notable project Exploring the Ammonia Quantity in the Dynamics of Fountain Effects.

September is Attendance Awareness Month!

Every day matters in Mapleton! Good attendance plays a crucial role in a student’s educational journey, serving as a key predictor of academic achievement and social development. In Mapleton, it's our goal to have students attend school at least 95% of the time – missing no more than nine days a year for any reason.
