Mission Statement
The mission of A. W. Brown Leadership Academy is to produce smart, effective, efficient, disciplined scholars by creating an environment in which teachers feel safe and free to teach and scholars feel safe and motivated to learn.
Academic Education ~ The Brown scholar experiences a curriculum designed to open scholars to the richness of their own intellect, as well as content area mastery. The academic rigor characteristic of a Brown education requires that the scholar attain a considerable level of proficiency in these disciplines. All the academic structures of Brown assist the scholar in discovering himself/herself as an individual of reason, education, and culture.
Character Education ~ every subject area, every teaching method, every attitude, every action of scholar or teacher is a means of training character. Character training takes place throughout the day, no matter what else is being taught. Teachers maintain orderly, structured classrooms and expect the scholars to work hard to learn content, and in the process, teach them to: love wisdom, respect authority, pay attention, and obey willingly and immediately. In addition, they are taught to be diligent workers, honest at all times, and orderly and organized.
Social Education ~ the development of the scholar's academic, character and social maturity is a task shared jointly by the family and Brown. The school provides both individual and collective opportunities where a scholar can grow as an individual and work as part of a group. Brown strives to promote an increase in acceptance of people of diverse cultures culminating in respectful attitudes toward all people. Personal responsibility and responsibilities toward the wider community are taught through unselfish public service and dedication to honoring one's commitments.
