Spring Academy

"As parents, we were drawn to Spring Academy because of the credentials of its leadership and faculty, the school’s accreditations, and that it is a local school tied to the community. After enrolling our child, we can now say first-hand, that Spring Academy is a wonderful school that provided the “just-right” supportive environment and academic structure our child needed to thrive again after a medical setback and because the traditional school setting did not work. I encourage you to meet with their amazing principal and teachers. This is a really special school."

"Hi, my daughter Elodie attended Spring Academy during that first pandemic year when it was clear to us that a traditional online school setting in high school would not meet her academic needs. My kid has ADHD and dyslexia and while intelligent and hardworking, her processing speed requires a steady, patient, presence to help walk her through both math and reading assignments. The Spring model, which pairs one teacher to two students, has this built in support and accountability model. As the teacher pivots back and forth between the students, students are left briefly alone with tasks, but the teacher is constantly checking in. Due to the highly interactive and intense model, the student absorbs content at an accelerated pace. Elodie has succeeded in classes at Spring that would have been impossible in a 1-30 teacher studio ratio at our local public Lincoln high school. After that, we lobbied and successfully won permission from SPS for Elodie to have a dual enrollment, allowing her to attend classes at our local public high school, and supplement math and English at Spring. So she absorbed academic content but also had a challenging and engaging social environment. Elodie has had three or four different teachers at Spring and all of them have been top notch. We did not once have any issues. The principal, Frank Hewins, also continually checked in with her progress. I have referred ten or fifteen families to Spring in the last few years. Whatever reason a family might seek a school like Spring, to support a student's learning style, supplement home schooling, or enrich the learning of a student so they might gain more academic confidence in themselves, I really recommend Spring as a worthy investment."

"We found Spring Academy during a stressful and chaotic time for our family-especially my 9th grade son. From the first time we met with Frank and Rob, they were kind, calm and non-judgmental and we knew our son would be in good hands. He was productive and successful in finishing out his 9th grade year. He worked hard and learned a lot- he was able to move quickly at times but also ask questions and remediate as needed all due to the one-on-one learning environment. His teachers were patient and flexible as there were times he had to work remotely. The Spring Academy is a great concept and all cities/school districts would be lucky to have something similar. We plan to use them again for tutoring or summer school. Thank you Spring Academy for working with our son & family!"

"My son went to Spring Academy after struggling in his freshman year of high school. Spring Academy not only brought him up to speed, but he excelled and now loves learning! He graduated in 2021 and was accepted to the college of his choice. I couldn't be happier with my son's education and the fact that Spring Academy gave him confidence in his academic ability. I would recommend this school to anyone!"

"I cannot say enough good things about Spring Academy. Their assistance in getting our family set up for additional academic instruction for our daughter was incredible. I was met by several people along the way who made this process seamless and efficient while also making us feel so welcome to the program. All of the people my child and I worked with created a very safe and happy environment which resulted in a great place for learning. My daughter loved her time working with the instructors, the process of enrollment was made easy for the parent(s), and we were all so elated to see how much she had improved in areas with which she was struggling! Our family can’t thank Spring Academy enough. We are forever grateful for all of their help!"
