Mission Statement
Our core values of innovation, empathy and strength combine with our core philosophy of physical, emotional and academic learning, shape our individual and project-based curriculum. This style of learning engages kids, enabling them to direct their learning and gain skills in an environment that is interesting, diverse, and relevant to their lives; making learning richer. Children have an innate curiosity and sense of wonder about the world. UP Academy will foster that curiosity while teaching the skills necessary to investigate, incorporate, understand and ultimately teach their lessons. Creativity is encouraged through diverse projects, art, music, language, tinkering and the use of a maker space. Knowledge is gained through individual learning projects and differentiated lessons, to meet each student at their ability level and push them to achieve more. In addition to it's unique learning style, UP Academy will be known for it's integrated neuro-motor inclusion program. Mission Statement Our mission is to produce successful, independent children capable of reaching their ultimate potential. UP Academy will cultivate a generation of creative, curious, free thinking, problem solvers through an education that embraces differing abilities. Our neuro-development program will transform inclusion education with an integrated therapeutic method that views both life skills and academic achievement with equal value. Vision Statement The vision of UP Academy is to incorporate technology, research and innovation to provide a superior educational experience that will give children important life skills to be independent and successful in a changing world.
About This Cause
UP Academy is a progressive TK - 8 micro-school that utilizes a concept and project based curriculum to promote whole child growth. Our graduate standards of becoming contributing global citizens, brave leaders, fearless changemakers, through radical autonomy and a healthy mind and body allow students to apply the knowledge, skills and concepts they master in school to the real world. Our students develop 21st century skills, a global perspective, and empathetic action in an environment that nurtures creativity and encourages curiosity. We empower students of all abilities to find strength in their community, believe in the power of their ideas, and influence action in the world around them. Small by design Our small, mixed age classes create a loving environment where each student builds a strong relationship with the peers and educator resulting in a deeper and richer educational experience. We meet students at their level and create the right amount of challenge for them to achieve their goals while loving learning. Content is not age or grade specific, it is student specific. We believe that a good educational model isn’t everyone getting the same thing, it's everyone getting what they need to be successful and thrive. What makes UP Academy different? UP Academy has four main points of innovation. Each is consciously designed to develop students skills and identity as learners and contributing global citizens. We are always asking 'what is the right thing for the student?’ We believe that a good educational model isn’t everyone getting the same thing, it's everyone getting what they need to be successful and thrive. Community building and Social Emotional Learning: Creating shared agreements and values for the classroom, classroom experience rewards, and peace corners, allow students to learn and understand how to be citizens, how to take care of themselves, and how to help others. Inclusivity and providing for multiple learning styles: Educators have the freedom to utilize multiple modes of teaching including inquiry, project based, multi-sensory, and movement thinking. Creating classrooms with universal accommodations means that all students learn to use the tools of self-awareness, mindfulness, and self-regulation.

The students engage in meaningful projects that allow them to engage authentically in their community to solve problems. Each project culminates with an exhibition day, where the students get to demonstrate their learning and craftsmanship.
