Our Mission
To create a vibrant, inclusive hub where people of all ages can learn, make, and grow together, sparking entrepreneurship, skill-building, and creativity through shared space and resources.

Workshops That Inspire
Our monthly Maker Lab studios invite you to explore new skills, tools, and challenges. Whether you join our Artisans Apprentice program (teen/adult), Tinker & Make to Learn activities (kids), or Challenge Quests (family), you’ll learn by doing—applying the engineering design process, critical thinking, collaboration, problem-solving, and creativity. Every session ends with something you’ve imagined, designed, and made yourself.

A Day at Academy

Start the day with friends in the Discovery Garden. We'll water plants, harvest fruits and veggies (as season allows), and then go inside to care for our pet guinea pigs, rabbit, and fish. Next, we'll have a morning meeting as a whole group which includes songs and games to get to know one another and a whole group activity or read-aloud. Then, we spend some time working individually on academics, whatever that looks like for each child. After lunch, we have time for play and exploration in the Discovery Museum and Maker Lab Studios. Of course, every day is flexible and unique - just like each of our students!  

What We Believe

Learning isn’t one-size-fits-all—your passions deserve to be explored.
Character matters—trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship guide everything we do.
Everyone can set meaningful goals and see them through.
Success means completing your work with pride and excellence.
Our Promise to You
We’re here to help you:

Begin a path to lifelong learning.
Discover and develop your passions and talents.
Build resilience, confidence, and determination.
Value healthy living, good stewardship, and freedom.
Treasure nature, the arts, and life’s many wonders.
Learn the skills and knowledge to help build a better world.

Our Commitment
We make learning accessible with flexible payment and scheduling, opportunities for your voice to shape your workshop experience, and access to co-working spaces, extracurriculars, and additional classes. Through volunteer opportunities and sponsorships, we provide financial support—and most importantly, we give you peace of mind knowing you are supported in growing your skills, confidence, and creativity.

Imagine. Design. Create. Share a meal. Start something new. Your next adventure in learning starts here.
