School Reimagined

Welcome to a Better Way to Learn

Futures Academy is the leader in relationship-based learning. We don't teach in classrooms lined with rows but in relationships. Students are matched with individual teachers for one-to-one instruction. Students connect with their peers in small group, project-based electives. And students build healthy relationships with themselves through our Science of Learning series and social programs. As a result, our middle school and high school students are known, seen, and belong. They build confidence, and they excel. Come see School Reimagined.

WHAT SETS US APART

Rather than a large class ratio of 1:30, we teach core academics in the one-to-one model we founded over 30 years ago and have been perfecting ever since. This teaching model helps students’ master academic fundamentals and is proven to produce better learning outcomes.

one-to-one instruction

ONE-TO-ONE INSTRUCTION

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.

21ST CENTURY SKILLS

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.

Learning How to Learn

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.

flexible scheduling

Flexible Schedules

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.

Connected Community

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.

Summer Reading & Next-Grade Readiness!

Reading may not be a priority for children over the summer, but it should be. Why? Summer reading is essential for a child's ability to retain material from the previous year as well as to increase critical thinking skills for the next year.
Resilience Image

Resilience Helps Our Kids Thrive

Resilience is the ability to ‘bounce back’ after difficult times. It’s also the ability to adapt to difficult circumstances that you can’t change and keep on thriving. In fact, when you’re resilient, you often learn from difficult situations. How do we help teens build that?
Summer Academic Success Image

Encourage Academic Success This Summer

The summer slide has been discussed and analyzed for over a century, with studies pointing to the fact that students lose a month of school learning over summer vacation when assessed.

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!
