We are proud to be a school that fully embraces the Leader in Me program. The Leader in Me is Franklin Covey’s whole-child and school transformation process. It is an evidence-based, comprehensive-school improvement model developed in partnership with educators that empowers students. It teaches 21st century leadership and life skills to students and creates a culture of student empowerment based on the idea that every child can be a leader.

AGA truly believes in our mission statement and strives to help students achieve their potential by encouraging all staff, students and families to use the 7 Habits language regularly. Our mission is to develop active student leaders with creative minds, understanding, compassionate and with the courage to act on their personal beliefs.

AGA does not merely focus on improving test scores, but prides itself on providing opportunities for students to develop their full potential. The Leader in Me is also aligned to many national and state academic standards. The program equips students with the skills needed for academic success in any setting. These skills include critical thinking, goal setting, listening and speaking, self-directed learning, presentation-making and the ability to work in groups.
