When reviewing college applications, admissions officers often look at the student’s leadership skills and experience as a way to gauge how that student may be actively engaged in campus life, lead initiatives, and inspire others. In this Master Class, you will learn key leadership laws that inspire others and lead to successful team efforts, and how you can immediately begin to apply these laws in your first leadership roles in high school.
Please join us on Saturday, March 8th, 2024, 6:30pm-10pm, for a fun Mexican-themed party to meet other LASA parents, have fun, laugh, celebrate, and eat and drink delicious food & beverages!! There will be games, margaritas, tacos, tamales, music, and surprises!!

We have a new Master Class to offer. Join Laurie Filipelli and Irena Smith for Help Build A Successful College Application Story on Tuesday, March 11 at 7pm.
Class Description:
In our comparison-driven culture, applying to college can be overwhelming. As parents and guides, we can ease the pressure by reframing the narrative and helping our students shine on their own terms. Through this interactive presentation, we’ll help families cut through the frenzy—How many APs? Which extracurricular activities are the best? Should my child get a summer internship?—as well as identify their own core values and support their students in becoming their best, most authentic selves. Come find useful advice, practical application tips, and a broader view of success.
