Testimonials
"I encourage independence in my student’s creativity because visual art is an individual’s expression and as such, should be nurtured. Founders Academy is an environment that the students can thrive in, without the fear of being judged."

"Teaching at Founders has given me a new sense of purpose as an educator. We really are a close-knit family of teachers who strive for student success and live to make a difference in our students' lives. As an educator who has been in multiple school systems, being at Founders actually makes me feel like I have found my home in education."

"Beacon is a welcoming community to work in - the faculty, staff, students, and parents have become a part of my extended family. As a teacher, I am provided the time and space to make my classes my own, while still being offered the curriculum supports and training that will help me grow my craft."
