Why should you be interested in Project Lead The
Way? Because we have developed a hands-on,
project based approach to learning that better
prepares students for the rigors of college. Our
program incorporates  math, science, English, and
technology skills needed for success. Our
professional development program will also help
to improve your teachers skills and provide you
with classes that students come to early, leave
late and  truly enjoy.
