Microschool
4D Learning Academy
We aim to provide an inspirational learning environment! Our unique classes will propel students to a higher level of learning.
Aspire Academic Learning
We believe that lessons should be made to fit the child, not children made to fit the lessons. Learning styles vary, and a child will learn best in their own style. Some children are visual learners, some are auditory, and some are kinesthetic. Still others are musical learners. Those catchy jingles that you can’t get out of your head…? This is because songs help musical learners remember concepts.
These different types of learning styles are why with Aspire Academic Learning (AAL), we use a multi-sensory approach to learning. We offer classes to meet your student’s needs. Enroll in one or more. There’s no minimum on the number of classes you can choose. However, full-curriculum classes typically provide the best value.

Thomas Nelson Leadership Academy
Our community draws from the educational principles found in A Thomas Jefferson Education: Teaching a Generation of Leaders for the Twenty-First Century by Oliver DeMille.

We believe that faith in God is a critical part of our character and therefore cannot be separated from the education process.
