Kindergarten to 8th Grade
Enrollment starts May 1st 2026
Our Mission & Goals
The mission of Fern Creek Academy is to ensure ALL children have an opportunity to learn in an environment that is engaging, explorative, nature inspired, and academically rigorous. We know how important it is to not just invite families but to involve them in learning. Fern Creek has an ongoing mission to bridge the gap between framework standards, instructional strategies, and learning opportunities.
Rich Curriculum
We have a 3 room school house surrounded by nature. Our lead teacher has 10 years of classroom experience, served as lead teacher in multiple districts, has 4 college degrees in the arts, general education, special education, and leadership/administration.
All students will be exposed to grade level content, assessed with common formative assessments, and have small group and 1-1 learning experiences.
It is the mission of Fern Creek Academy to fuse nature and agriculture with rich academic curriculum, daily.
Nature & Agriculture
Along with the rich academic curriculum, we have gardening, nature, animals.
Fern Creek Academy encompasses raised beds, a small greenhouse, outdoor classrooms, and a creek. The barnyard will have chickens, rabbits, goats, and other animal visits.
Students and staff will garden outdoors and in the greenhouse. They will learn homesteading art such as harvest canning, sewing, preservation, and cooking alongside rigorous academic skills.
Social-Emotional
The entire day is based on learning and interaction with nature, animals, agriculture, and each other. Students enjoy sitting around a campfire and in hammocks in the outdoor library, rock hunting in the creek, and exploring the campus.
We strongly believe that all humans have the ability to learn. We know that it is in the most safe and comfortable environment, they learn best.
