Make a difference by partnering with us to inspire children to achieve more than they believe is possible, see more than they know exists, and start working today toward a better tomorrow.

Inspire Academy is the first and only school at which students can get an EL Education in Muncie, Indiana. We are committed to providing students with opportunities that develop a passion for life-long learning.   With the help of supporters like you, we are quickly improving our facilities. There is still work to be done on roofing, energy efficient lighting and windows, HVAC upgrades, and enhancing outdoor learning spaces. When you make a financial contribution, you help us achieve our goal!

Make a Financial Contribution

You can support Inspire Academy by making a donation to our general giving campaign or a special new campaign – Dr. Thomas Schroeder Legacy Fund

Inspire Future Generations

We are committed to providing students with opportunities that develop a passion for life-long learning. In keeping with the ancient Hebrew proverb, we believe that children are not vessels to be filled but fires to be lit.

Dr. Thomas Schroeder Legacy Fund – Literacy for All

Dr. Schroeder served for nine years on the Board of Directors, including eight years as Board Chair. He championed parental involvement in early literacy development.

Donor Honor Roll

Inspire Academy has been fortunate to receive the support of many of the citizens of Muncie and even others from across the country who believe in our vision and model of education. Their generosity has made it possible for us to provide extra enrichment to our students and is allowing us to narrow the resource gap that so many of our students face.
