Admissions

“Read in the name of your Lord, Who has created man out of a germ-cell! Read – for your Lord is the Most Bountiful One who has taught man the use of the pen and taught man what he did not know!” (96:1-5)

These verses command mankind to pursue a lifelong journey of education in an effort to develop a relationship with Allah (SWT), the ‘Most Bountiful One’. At LPS, students are taught that by learning the various sciences, they understand God’s creation and their personal responsibility towards the sanctity and respect towards that creation. As specified in the second verse of this chapter, ‘germ-cell’, LPS does not differentiate between ‘secular’ and ‘religious’ teachings but merges them to demonstrate the ‘way of life’ that Islam is.

Leaders Preparatory School Non-Discrimination Policy

LPS does not discriminate against students of any gender, handicap, race, and color, and religion, national or ethnic origin in the administration of its education policies, admission policies, scholarship programs, or other school-administered programs and activities.

Leaders Preparatory School Admissions Policy

LPS has a finite number of student seats available at the beginning of each school year. To keep class sizes small, the number of seats available can be very limited. The earlier a prospective student’s file is completed (including fees paid), the more likely we can accommodate him/her.

The results of your child’s testing, previous school records, and grades, as well as space available will determine the acceptance of a new student to LPS. The earlier this process is begun, the better chance for admission.

Any student who completes the admission process and is eligible for acceptance but finds that no space is available, is given the option of having his/her name added to the waiting list. If a space becomes available, the next name on the list will be offered the space.

All new LPS students are on probation for the first eight weeks. Any new student exhibiting any academic or behavioral problems during this probation period will not be able to continue at LPS.
