Sparrow Academy

We are now a K - 12th grade school that approaches learning through the lens of Emotional Regulation.

At Sparrow Academy, our staff is trained in trauma-informed approaches to learning. This means that we work to understand the root of problems and then develop a plan to correct the underlying cause, not just the symptoms. We guide students toward total physical, mental, and emotional development through activities which are student-centered and which focus on positive expectations and encourage i

ntrinsic motivation. At Sparrow Academy, we engage students in meaningful learning through the use of multiple intelligence and cooperative learning. Our students are guided in using technology to enhance their learning. Our program is designed to effectively incorporate outdoor learning into the curriculum, as well as providing opportunities for students to gain life skills through practical, life application lessons. Finally, at Sparrow Academy we lead students to becoming self-aware. Through guided relaxation and social skills instruction, our students learn to understand their emotions and how to manage these emotions to become well-balanced and successful citizens.

As we reflect on the incredible 2025-2026 school year, our hearts are filled with gratitude! ❤️

This year has been filled with so many victories, growth moments, breakthroughs, and achievements for our students. We have watched children gain confidence, overcome challenges, grow academically, and discover just how valuable they are. Every success story reminds us why Sparrow Academy exists.
As we look ahead to the 2026-2027 school year, we are excited to be expanding our reach and upgrading our facility to make room for even more students and families who need the unique, trauma-informed, Christ-centered education that Sparrow Academy provides.

This summer, we are working to raise $30,000 for important classroom renovations and campus improvements that will help us better serve our growing student population.
Would you consider partnering with us? Whether through a personal donation or by connecting us with a local business that shares our passion for helping children thrive, your support can make a lasting difference.

Together, we can continue creating a place where every child is known, valued, and equipped to succeed.
