Academics at Ignite Academy

As a health focused environment, we value an approach to education that looks at the whole child and aligns with the character, values, and skills needed for boundless growth. Charlotte Mason described education as “an atmosphere, a discipline, and a life.” This view helps us see that learning is so much more than the acquisition of knowledge. At Ignite Academy, we view every child as a “learner” who is uniquely created and will be used to make a positive impact on the world. Our school and classrooms are healthy environments that offer a variety of opportunities for children to engage with their learning, with one another, with God, and with their purpose.

Our academic program includes instruction and exploration in mathematics, reading, writing, science, the humanities, and the arts. Our day includes time for direct instruction in content areas, project based learning, and interdisciplinary studies to allow for application in real-world contexts. In addition, we integrate the following values throughout our curriculum and school day to ensure its learners achieve boundless growth.

What do parents say about Ignite’s academic program?
