A New School in Southwest Little Rock

IOTA Leadership Academy is a new, tuition-free school coming soon to Little Rock. It is designed to prepare students for college success, workforce pathways, and a lifetime of possibility.

Every member of the community — students, families, educators, and community partners — actively engages in the learning process so no child is overlooked.

How We Make It Possible

IOTA Community Schools is a tuition-free, public charter school network where students are guided by relationships, accountability, determination, and justice. Here is how that comes to life in the classroom:

College Prep with Real-World Relevance

Students learn in a college & career preparatory environment that emphasizes dual enrollment & ACT preparation, project-based learning, career exploration, & internships with the Tennessee Valley Authority.

Individualized Support for Every Student

Small class sizes, focused academic support, and dedicated advisories ensure students are supported academically, socially, and emotionally.

Justice, Voice, and Belonging

Diverse perspectives are respected and students are empowered to advocate for themselves and others, guided by integrity, fairness, and shared responsibility.

Free Afterschool Programs

IOTA offers hands-on enrichment including barbering & digital media, along with free tutoring up to four days per week. This no-cost program helps students explore interests and build confidence.

Four Values. One School Culture.

Our values guide everything we do at IOTA Community Schools:

Relationships

Accountability

Determination

Justice

Join Our Community

We look forward to welcoming families into our school community starting in Fall 2026.
