“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.

Step Up For Students Scholarship
In 2001, the Florida Legislature created the Florida Tax Credit Scholarship (income-based scholarship) to assure that low-income children have learning options. Under the law, the scholarships are based on financial need, not how well your child does in school.
Step Up For Students is a Florida Tax Credit Scholarship agency that works to empower parents who are limited by financial circumstances to choose the school best suited for their child. They do this by awarding scholarships to students from low-income families throughout the state of Florida who apply.
Scholarships are available on a first come first served basis for low income families from www.sufs.org. Applications for renewing families open in October and for new families in February. Please visit the Step Up For Students website or contact the LPS office for additional information.
