We shape instruction to build on the strengths and abilities of each student and integrate Moral Focus™ lessons into every school day.

"There are many parts of my job that I love, but if I have to choose one favorite part, it would have to be the opportunity to touch the lives of children on a daily basis. I get to play an instrumental role in creating our future presidents, doctors, lawyers, teachers, pastors, and all other careers. This is my favorite part of serving as the proud principal of Aspire Charter Academy."

The curriculum at Aspire is outstanding! My daughter was homeschooled from 2nd grade until 6th grade. The school she attended last year was way too easy for her. Aspire keeps her challenged!
