At Futures Academy, we don’t look like a traditional school, and we don’t teach like one either. We’ve created a better way for many students to learn. We set ourselves apart with our proven learning philosophy, EMPOWER, which develops habits and mindsets that empower students to write their own future. Students, at all levels, find their strengths and excel in highly personalized settings blending one-to-one instruction and small group classes. Here, every student is known, belongs, and succeeds. You might know us by our former name Halstrom Academy. We updated our name to better align with our innovative approach. Come see School Reimagined.
We go beyond core academics to prepare our students for the new economy. We teach the science of learning, along with robotics, coding, game design, digital arts, cyber security, storytelling, and more. Our 21st century skill electives help students explore their interests and find what they are passionate about pursuing after high school.
Discovering how you learn best and cultivating successful study skills, mindsets, and habits is often taken for granted. Yet, these are the most important areas to develop. We teach students how to study, why effort matters, and how to build grit and the growth mindset needed for learning in our Science of Learning courses & in Guided Study.
School doesn’t have to be Monday-Friday 7am – 3pm anymore. We offer schedules aligned to students’ optimal learning times via our morning, late morning, or afternoon schedule. Students can even complete coursework in compressed days to free time for extracurricular activities, athletics, training, acting, and other interests.
We don’t look like a traditional school on purpose. We cap enrollment at 100 full-time families to help students become immersed in their schools. Campus activities, from clubs and field trips to prom and grad night are a few of our student favorites. From the campus colors to the furniture, our school is designed to encourage students to connect and build healthy friendships.
We believe that finding and pursuing your authentic purpose, finding ‘your jam’, ‘your thing’, ‘your passion’, is part of the secret sauce of career success and happiness. We help students cultivate the habits that are proven to increase happiness and to find their purpose via our college readiness program.

Developing a Growth Mindset. We can Help.
As a parent, the impact of this school has been tremendous... there is less stress and micromanagement of school issues - for both parent and child and the knowledge that my daughter will succeed with the help and support she receives, and have a chance at the future she wants!
