Inwood Academy for Leadership is a free, public charter school that empowers students to become agents for change through community-focused leadership, character development, and college preparedness. We were founded on the belief that all children deserve a quality education and that a child’s access to a great education should not be limited by his or her family’s income or zip code. Our service to students extends beyond the school day and beyond their high school graduation. We opened our doors to our first class of 110 fifth graders in 2010, graduated our first class of seniors in 2018, and 10 years later are supporting our alumni until they earn their college degree or enter the career of their choice. Students are given a preference in our open lottery if they are an English Language Learner living in the school district in which our school is located. Applying siblings of students enrolled in Inwood Academy for Leadership are also given preference for a seat.
