Inspiring Courage & Creativity
We believe every person who enters our door is destined to find a calling and change the world.
Disruptive Education
At Innovator Academy we believe that clear thinking leads to good decisions, good decisions lead to the right habits, the right habits lead to character and character becomes destiny.
Our Learner Driven Communities are run mostly by our Eagles, where closely connected families of lifelong learners are bound by clear covenants; and “Learning to Do” and “Learning to Be” are even more important than “Learning to Know.”
Our Approach
Learn to be
The Hero’s Journey, relational covenants and real world consequences transform difficult decisions into virtuous habits.
Learn to do
Hands-on Quests for Science, Entrepreneurship and the Arts prepare children for Apprenticeships and real world challenges.
Learn to learn
Socratic Discussions and self paced challenges equip children to be independent lifelong learners.
