(6th – 12th Grade)

When School Doesn't Fit, Students Suffer

Give your 6th–12th grader a small, hybrid school that finally fits.

At Inspired Learning Academy, students learn in small groups, build real friendships, and rebuild confidence in a 3‑days‑on‑campus, 2‑days‑at‑home rhythm that supports both learning and life.

If your child is anxious, bored, or burnt out in a traditional setting, the problem might not be your teen. It might be the environment. At Inspired, we create a calm, connected learning community where tweens and teens feel known, supported, and appropriately challenged.

A 30-minute visit to see the campus, share your child's story, and explore whether Inspired is a better fit for your middle or high schooler.

Something's not right...

Is your child stuck in a learning environment that doesn’t match their needs?

Are they missing out on meaningful interaction — with teachers and peers?

Do you wonder if they’d thrive with more support, more challenge, or just a better balance?

Imagine if...

Your child had a fresh start in a small, encouraging learning community.

They felt supported and challenged — with the right mix of structure and freedom.

They were part of a community where they could connect, collaborate, and belong.

What Matters Most to You - and to Us

Social Connection & Belonging

In a small, close-knit learning environment, students build meaningful friendships and practice real collaboration. Through group projects, community activities, and open dialogue, teens learn to communicate, contribute, and connect — all without the social pressure of a large school setting. It’s a place where they can be themselves, and be part of something real.

Academic Growth & Challenge

Students at Inspired are encouraged to grow — not coast. With a flexible structure that meets them where they are, and mentors who know how to guide them forward, students are challenged to think deeply, stay accountable, and take pride in their progress. It’s not about busywork — it’s about learning that matters.

College & Future Readiness

We don’t just prepare students for college — we prepare them for life. Through self-directed learning, real-world skill-building, and personalized mentorship, students develop the confidence, initiative, and communication skills that colleges and employers look for. Whether their next step is university, a creative path, or entrepreneurship, we help them own their journey.

Why Choose Inspired?

Real-World Readiness

Today’s employers value communication, collaboration, and a growth mindset — not just test scores. We help students build the soft skills that matter most.

College Campus

College-Ready,
Life-Ready

Top colleges seek out self-directed learners who can think critically and take initiative — exactly what we nurture here.

Intrinsically Motivated Learners

When teens have a voice in their education, they don’t just go through the motions — they engage, grow, and take ownership of their learning.

Studying on the Grass

Genuine Connections

Small groups and a supportive culture help students feel safe being themselves — and that’s where authentic friendships begin.

Confidence Through Challenge

With space to explore, fail, reflect, and try again, students build real self-esteem — not from grades, but from growth.

Science Courses

Passion with Purpose

Whether it’s coding, storytelling, entrepreneurship, or environmental justice, students pursue what excites them — and discover why it matters.

Testimonials

Our son is growing into a man and feels more self-confident at ILA as he is able to make more decisions for himself... At his prior school, he saw college as a continuation of his pain and suffering and wanted nothing to do with it.  At ILA, it is a means for fulfilling his ambitions and he is preparing himself for the task.
