Lee Academy For Academically Gifted Students

Our daughter just finished her second year at Lee Academy and our youngest daughter will join them this coming fall. We could not be happier with this school. Its not just a school, its a community. A community that supports our children academically, socially, and emotionally. They have over 25 years experience in the gifted education field and it shows.
This year they expanded their community garden project and it has grown beautifully. They harvested carrots, squash, peppers, herbs, corn, cabbage, watermelon and more. All the kids are involved from pre-​K through 12^th grade, composting, planting, weeding, harvesting and learning. My six year is learning an appreciation of where her food comes from all while learning about the life cycle of plants.
They support creativity and higher level thinking, not just the core basics. The Early Childhood teacher is an accomplished artist and brings an artistic view to her students. They learn about color wheels and explore many mediums. From tye dying tshirts to wall murals, she does such an amazing job incorporating art into learning. The art teacher is also great. She teaches these students that there are no mistakes in art. The kids are taught how to work with the project at hand and be problems solvers. There hard work have won several awards this year alone.
Most of all, this school provides a supportive environment for these children to blossom. The kids are raised with poise, confidence and a passion for learner. As a parent, I could not ask for more!
