Greetings families,

We pray you are all staying safe during the storm.

Due to the late arrival of the hurricane, the possibility that we could lose power or have damage situations from storm bands well into the night, and any flooding throughout the county,
IA will remain closed tomorrow,
September 27th, 2024.

We are a family and here to help, please inform us if you have any needs from the hurricane.

Warm regards,
Sarinette Rivera
Principal

Good afternoon IA families,

Out of the abundance of caution, and to allow our families and staff ample time to prepare for Hurricane Helene, we will be closed Wednesday and Thursday, September 25th and 26th, 2024. We will evaluate weather and make a determination for Friday on Thursday. Please stay tuned to our social media pages and texting app. We will continue to keep you posted as new information is released.

We pray the storm passes quickly and everyone is safe.

Blessings,

From Our Founders

Inspiration Academy is a transformational school. The first of its kind. But before I explain what that means in a general sense let me explain our history. Our history is as dynamic and innovative as our future. Inspiration Academy was born in faith in 2013. Claire and I had been living in Florida after selling our software business in Colorado to Accenture and retiring. But, God had different plans. Without any formal background in education, we felt called to start a school. And so the adventure in faith began. Faith is not knowing. We didn’t know where we were going and weren’t sure why. But, we came to realize that the new problems facing today’s younger generation required new solutions and a fresh perspective. Previous knowledge and experience would have in fact prevented innovative solutions to new problems facing this generation.

IA provides new solutions to new problems, delivered through seasoned teachers, coaches and professionals. This combination has already achieved multiple accreditations and honors. It also marks the distinction in our community that is so difficult to articulate but so easy to feel. Come discover the difference a loving and caring community can make for your family. Welcome to the Inspiration Academy Community!
