Where Every Student Learns with Purpose and Possibility

At Inspire Academy, learning is an adventure that helps every student grow into a confident, curious, and compassionate problem-solver. From kindergarten through eighth grade, our small school environment allows teachers to know each student deeply—academically and personally.

We combine strong core instruction in reading, writing, and math with real-world projects that make learning meaningful. Students learn not just what to think, but how to think.

Students Learning with Purpose & Possibility

Strong Foundations, Bright Futures

Mastering the Basics—Then Taking Them Further

Inspire’s academic program is built around research-based curriculum and hands-on learning experiences. Our teachers challenge students to do their best work while supporting them every step of the way.

Our Curriculum Includes:

Literacy and Language Arts: Building strong readers and writers through discussion, creative expression, and analysis.
Mathematics: Developing problem-solving skills, emphasizing understanding over memorization.
Science and Social Studies: Encouraging discovery through experiments, inquiry, and local fieldwork.
Financial Literacy and Real-World Skills: Empowering students with practical knowledge for life beyond the classroom.

By the time students graduate, they’re ready to take on high school with confidence—and a love of learning that lasts.

Inquiry-Based Learning in Action

Students Don’t Just Learn—They Explore

Learning at Inspire Academy is active and connected to the real world. Students work together on authentic projects that combine academics, creativity, and service. Whether designing solutions to local challenges, presenting to real audiences, or exploring nature in our Outdoor Learning Lab, learning feels relevant and exciting.

Students Engage In:

Collaborative group work and peer feedback
Outdoor exploration and environmental learning
Presentations and exhibitions that celebrate progress

These experiences help students see the impact of their ideas and build pride in their accomplishments.

Habits That Shape the Whole Child

Character, Confidence, and Community in Action

At Inspire Academy, education means more than academics—it’s about developing the habits that shape lifelong success.

Our Habits of Scholarship—Joy, Empathy, Perseverance, Integrity, Curiosity, and Quality—guide students in how they learn, lead, and connect with others.

We Help Students:

Build confidence and a sense of belonging
Practice kindness, respect, and responsibility
Set goals and reflect on their progress
Develop habits of perseverance and problem-solving

Through Crew meetings, social-emotional learning, and community experiences, students practice these habits every day—building confidence, compassion, and a sense of purpose that extends far beyond the classroom.

Elementary Foundations for Lifelong Learning

At Inspire Academy, the elementary years focus on building the strong academic foundations every child needs to become a confident reader, writer, mathematician, and critical thinker. Our curriculum is grounded in the Science of Reading, ensuring students receive explicit instruction in phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension—skills that prepare them for the deeper writing and analysis they’ll take on in later grades.

In math, students develop number sense, problem-solving strategies, and conceptual understanding, helping them make connections and think like young mathematicians.

Off-campus learning experiences enrich these foundations by giving students simple, real-world opportunities to apply what they’re learning—whether observing, measuring, asking questions, or exploring ideas outside the classroom.

By mastering these essential skills and habits, students leave elementary school ready for the rigor, independence, and project-based learning that define their Middle School Momentum experience.
