Readers 2 Leaders Academy

Readers 2 Leaders Academy was established in 2021 in the City of Petersburg.

The goal is to secure the future of the world. The best way to secure our future is by supporting the growth of our next generation.

​

Readers 2 Leaders Academy adheres to a holistic approach of early childhood education. When we expose children to different environments and various learning experiences, we allow them to explore their self-awareness and explore their own genius.

 

Once they leave our Academy, they’re fully prepared for the next stage of their young lives.​Readers 2 Leaders Academy encourages expression and social / personal development. This is a safe space for children of all ages to discover/ be themselves and love who they are.

Meet our Visionary

Poria Nzoko

 I have a degree in social sciences and psychology. Working with children and families is a passion of mine. I have been working with children since I was a child. I started volunteering at the Boys & Girls Club at the age of 14. I started mentoring 8th and 9th graders my senior year of high school. That list only grows. I am a mother of one son. As a mother, I believe that parents should work with their children and encourage all of their interest to keep those minds going and growing. As a mother, I also know that it isn't always easy. The more I had to work, go to school, and study, the less time and energy I had for my very active little one. I dropped some of the load to give that time and energy to my son and all of the children who needs it because they are our future. None of us can do it alone. I work everyday to build a village for our future leaders.
