OUR FOUNDER
LEAH VEAL
Leah Veal is an educator, counselor, and learner with over a decade of classroom and administrative experience. Her 20 + years of experience in healthcare and education make her uniquely attuned to the social-emotional and academic needs of young learners. Leah received her Education Specialist from Georgia State University and her Master of Arts from University of Tennessee. She’s spent years working with children in both private and public school settings ensuring that every child under her care becomes a proficient reader and writer and learns to value education.
In the past six years, Ms. Veal grew BLI from a mobile classroom serving a handful of learners in a small Florida community to a multistate educational agency providing academic services and educational products to over 2,000 young innovators, leaders, and learners. Whether you seek educational supplies for your homeschooler, supplemental learning, or full-time enrollment in our private school, BLI Institute, Leah and her team are here for you!
MISSION & VISION
Our mission is to improve the quality of children’s lives through education. Leah Veal, a specialist level educator and equity champion, founded the organization so that children from every community will have access to a high-quality education. Our team envisions a world where all children find value in learning and want to help strengthen their community.
OUR STORY
BLI began in 2017 as a one-person initiative, ten students, and a school bus converted into a mobile classroom. Under Ms. Veal’s leadership, the organization has grown to serve over 200 children annually through academic services and 2,000 + through educational products.
