Our Unique Approach

New Leader Academy redefines learning for special needs children. We emphasize a neurological basis to learning, incorporating highly motivating therapeutic movement activities, assistive technology (AT), virtual/augmented reality (VR/AR), and artificial intelligence (AI). Our program is committed to nurturing not only academic excellence but also comprehensive development across all facets of a child's life.

Pillars of Strength

New Leader Academy presents the unique 'Six Pillars of Strength' model, emphasizing a strength-based approach to unlock each child's potential, guiding them to become confident and self-reliant leaders.
