Our Story

The Cleveland Academy of Leadership is located in the city of Spartanburg, S.C. near the Spartanburg fair grounds.  Cleveland is one of seven elementary schools in Spartanburg School District 7.  The facility, built in 1999, includes forty classrooms, two computer labs, a science lab, an art room, three music rooms, and a gymnasium.  The cafeteria seats 250 students.  

Cleveland is a Title I school which now serves aprooximately 400 students in grades 4K through grade five. Working to realize its mission “to provide quality education for all students,” The Cleveland Academy of Leadership has focused additional time, efforts, and resources to ensure that all their students receive the education that will make them competitive in today’s global society.

We continue to focus on student leadership through The Leader in Me program. We have been able to provide each student in grades 2, 3, 4 and 5 with a MacBook Air laptop computer and every K5 and 1st grade student with an iPad.
