A Day at Leap. Built for Real Life.

A Day at Leap. Built for Real Life.

Morning Circle & Devotion (9:00 AM)

Every day starts together with prayer, Scripture and goal-setting, so each child begins grounded, known and ready to learn.

Core Academics (9:20–11:20 AM)

Two focused hours of math, reading and writing, paced to mastery. Certified teachers lead small groups so no child gets lost or held back.

Life Skills & AI (through 2:30 PM)

Four hours of the things school usually skips: money, AI, communication, health and hands-on building. The day closes in prayer, with dismissal at 2:30.

Need longer hours?

Early Bird care opens at 7:30 AM, and After School runs until 6 PM.
