Spring Academy

Working with Spring Academy has been life changing for my son. He has made so much progress during his time with this school it is actually incredible. We adore his teacher so much that I request her every year, but we've also experienced some of the other teachers as occasional subs, and they all seem wonderful. The teachers are so good at what they do that they make the kids feel special for getting to work with them, rather than it being a negative thing that they need extra help. I recommend this school to all parents who tell me they are considering it!

As parents, we were drawn to Spring Academy because of the credentials of its leadership and faculty, the schools 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.

The teachers at Spring Academy worked with my child's school to be able to support her dyslexia during the school day. She felt very supported with the class material, and the tutoring alleviated the amount of homework she brought home. I'm grateful it worked out so well!

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.
