Founding Schools
ALDS was founded in 2023 with the generous support and guidance of our founding schools. We were overwhelmed with the number of schools who immediately jumped on board to help ALDS get off the ground. We would not have been able to do this without them.
We are still accepting applications for Founding Schools. If you meet our Membership Criteria and would like more information or wish to apply, please reach out to Cheryl Cook at [email protected].
