RE-OPENING FROM THE INSIDE OUT

At Inspiration Academy, our mission is to cultivate, nourish and inspire students, using a mentorship model to develop an integrated life of faith from the inside out, in an environment of family, care and love. Our vision is to provide an innovative educational community that inspires students to be creative sources of cultural change in the fields where they are called. We havefound ourselves leaning more on this mission and vision today than ever before. In March 2020, we navigated through unchartered waters, but we did it together and found success in our unity.  Today we can look back and thank God for His mercy, grace, and faithfulness in the circumstances in which we have been placed. We have been diligently and intentionally seeking God’s guidance as we develop a plan for the re-opening of IA. Our goal is to provide our students with a learning environment that allows them to grow spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and socially. IA has found that studentslearn best in a community of mentorship with caring teachers and friends. Students rise to success when placed in an environment of support and growth in every aspect of life, not only academics.

This is what makes IA different than the rest.

We believe the best way to provide this to our students is to open our school for on-campus learning.
