We Teach!
Parents today are more concerned than
ever that their students are not getting
a quality education through the public
school system. They want more control
over their child's learning than most
private schools allow, but they are not
able to school their children at home.
When you enroll in Futures Academy,
you get the best of both worlds. In a
structured classroom environment,
students are taught by teachers who teach the way students learn -- with hands-on methods, sharing with peers, and personal guidance.
We've escaped today's digital world where old-fashioned books are lost in a sea of pixels. Instead we believe tried-and-true methods, when blended with the latest theories and practices, provide the most effective tools for teaching modern learners.
The I.D.E.A. Plan
​
We reject the “one size fits all” approach that is common in many education environments, preferring instead to teach the way students learn—with each individual in mind.
The Idea Plan is what sets Futures Academy apart from every other educational option in town. Each student has his or her own
Individually Designed Educational Achievement
Plan.
We begin with an informal interview with you and your child to learn about the needs and events that brought you to our program. Together we set a course schedule that can be altered as needs change. It is in this interview that we start to bring kids' futures into focus.
In Their Own Words
​
Futures Academy is more than just a place of learning. Teachers here strive to get to know each student as their own. Learning opportunities have not been so easy for me as it has been for other students, but ere at Futures Academy, learning is enjoyable while still getting a high quality education. Deeper education and a future is what you receive when choosing to attend this school. ~Taylor, class of 2020
