Dear Leading Edge Academy Parents and Guardians,
We are thrilled that Leading Edge Academy will be starting on August 9th, 2023, and we couldn't be more excited to welcome back our amazing students! After a period of being apart this summer, we are looking forward to reuniting as a strong and vibrant school community.
The theme this year is "Knights Unite!" Our focus will be on fostering a sense of belonging and unity, so we can become a stronger and more resilient community.
Thank you for your continued trust in Leading Edge Academy. We can't wait to see your children's smiling faces as they step through our doors on August 9th. Here's to a fantastic year ahead!
Knights, Unite!
