Martin Luther King, Jr. Leadership Academy is a specialized program of Miami-Dade County Public Schools where intensive support in academics and social development is a key component of its approach to educating students who face difficulties in a traditional classroom setting. The Academy’s educational approach encompasses basic academic courses infused with the nonviolence methodology of the late civil rights leader Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

The students enjoy a diverse cultural peer interaction, staff-student mentoring, conflict management, judicial and entrepreneurial training, computer instruction, and several extracurricular activities throughout the school year. This specialized approach has lowered incidents of disruptive behavior, helped increase grade point averages, increased school attendance, and decreased the dropout rate of individual students. As a result, the students experience positive changes in their social and academic development and are able to flourish once they return to a traditional classroom setting.
