Heroes Academy

Supported by the latest in technology and cognitive science, we move beyond the traditional tools of lectures, homework, high-stakes tests, and grades. At Heroes Academy, our students learn in collaborative classrooms of multi-age learners. Our flexible approach challenges each student with their differentiated learning plan, coupled with real-worl... d projects and experiences. Above all else, each child that enters our doors begins a journey to discover their unique gifts and passions, and how they can be used to find a calling that will change the world. Experience how Heroes Academy is transforming education in this short film about the school. Our 8 year old boy who hated all things school now LOVES school and wants it to be a 24 hour school. The love of learning alone is enough to make sending him there worth it, but he is learning so much more than that. The character traits they are building will be more valuable in his life than we could possibly imagine right now.
