About AC LEAP
Mission
At Allendale Columbia Summer LEAP, we believe that education can transform lives and promote equity in the Rochester community.
Our mission is to unite families, teachers, and community leaders with innovative models of immersive learning. We join together to develop socially responsible leaders and emboldened lifelong learners committed to inspiring positive change.
Our program blends a high-quality academic model with a focus on social-emotional learning, wellness, and bilingual enrichment for the Spanish-speaking students we serve. Instead of losing academic ground throughout the summer, our students maintain their math skills and show, on average, six weeks of reading gains.
Core Principles
- Trust: Cultivating relationships that break down barriers and build trust.
- Quality: Providing second-to-none preparation for real-world student success.
- Community: Bringing our best selves to the community we serve.
- Impact: Fostering effective support and enrichment that addresses targeted community needs.

This is my circle of control!
Knowing what we can and cannot control can help us focus on what’s important and what will help us live to our fullest potential!
Try making your own circle of control (if you do be sure to tag us!) #socialemotionallearning #SEL #together
Spring is here 🌸🌼🌻
Remember to get outside and connect with nature!
