Fordham Leadership Academy students are enrolled in classes in accounting and business entrepreneurship, which teaches marketing and management. Students also participate in the banking program and advanced classes. Fordham Leadership Academy teachers know that in order to succeed in college or the work world, students must be provided with a challenging and meaningful educational experience at school. Students need to learn long, complex, and difficult things in school. They need to be able to learn in deep ways: to improvise, innovate, and challenge them; to develop concepts, skills, and relationships that will allow them to explore new worlds; to experience learning as a source of enjoyment and as a way to explore and discover who they are. Along with the quality of teachers, the principal, extracurricular activities, safety, parental involvement has also been counted as very important to the aspect of the educational programs designed at this upstanding school.
