I like how we go and visit the colleges. The campus is very liberal though. You do not feel welcome to express your opinion unless you agree with them.

I like about lead academy that it helps all the students to be better in education and to make sure that every single student is learning. Also I like how the students are communicating with their teachers and how much they helping their students. I like it a lot because it's small school and small classes so we can learn a lot and have more time to understand everything. I dislike about the school is that the sports are not good enough to us and the food is not really good as we want so I world like to find more sports and to let all the students to participate in all the sports and to make sure the food is good.
