The Lincoln Center’s Leadership Academy is a Pennsylvania-licensed private academic school serving students grades seven to 12. The Leadership Academy is designed to work with students who are experiencing difficulty in the traditional school setting. Academic work is accented by expanding student knowledge with experiential learning such as STEM project-based learning applications, robotics, therapeutic gaming, virtual reality PE and co-op work opportunities. Field trips highlight overall themes and provide cultural experiences while still in a supportive therapeutic environment. Students range in their social or emotional challenges and may cope with severe mental health disorders, ADHD, PTSD, mood disorders, high levels of anxiety, school phobia, substance abuse issues and other challenges that prevent the student from thriving in the traditional school setting.
To address mental health concerns of students, The Leadership Academy offers two programs. In the standard program, students participate in one group counseling session per day. In the plus program, students receive two clinical therapy groups per day, a minimum of 30 minutes of individual therapy per week along with access to telephychiatry services and family therapy.
The Lincoln Center’s Leadership Academy operates under the philosophy of Transformational Education, a variety of interactive learning practices that embody a studentcentered, relationshipbuilding process wherein teachers and counselors guide students in developing life skills and effective work ethic in a supportive therapeutic environment. The curriculum appeals to diverse learning styles, and because of the low teacher-to-student ratio and multi-sensory and open classroom approach, students are effectively engaged and instruction individualized based on academic levels.
“I never thought I would graduate high school, and with the help of the Lincoln Center, I not only graduated but have gotten my life on the right track and am even attending college! — former student
