Inspire Academy

Our students are inspired to think critically and take an active role in their classrooms and communities, which leads to higher achievement and greater engagement in school. Most importantly, we prepare students to compete on a global level and instill within them a desire for lifelong learning. Inspire Academy is open to all Indiana residents and... is committed to targeting students who are not realizing their full potential in traditional classrooms. Inspire Academy received its approval for charter from Ball State University on December 5, 2011 and received the executed charter on April 18, 2013. Inspire Academy opened its doors in August 2013 on the site of the former Garfield School as part of the new Unity Center with a founding student body of 124 students in grades K - 5. Inspire Academy was Muncie's first public charter school that serviced children onsite 5 days a week. The school was created in response to the local community's need for another educational option in Muncie. Parents wanted a school where they were seen as partners of the school staff and a place where student participation and inquiry is encouraged. Inspire Academy was birthed out of the community development initiatives of Urban Light Community Church and Urban Light Community Development Corporation. What Sets Us ApartRead More
