Who
                                        Who We Are






                             Mirror Image Leadership Academy (MILA) is a 3-year leadership
                                 discovery experience for incoming 7th graders, primarily
                               targeting, but not limited to African American students. Our
                               program includes a School Year Academy, an Extended Day
                              After-school Program, a Summer Academy with local, national,
                                and international travel, and the Evolving Leaders Academy
                               as our touchpoint for MILA graduates in grades 10th through

                               12th. Each year, we focus on expanding young minds through
                                       exposure to diverse people, places, and ideas.


                               Our approach is mindset over behavior. Real change doesn’t
                               happen without a shift in mindset. Throughout their journey
                              with MILA, scholars follow our True Leader Model curriculum,
                                 emphasizing how exposure can positively change their
                                   self-image, purpose, faith, character, and work ethic.
