What do you do differently and uniquely well?

"Every day at Monarch Academy is a day filled with fulfillment and growth. Through application-based and hands-on learning students are able to learn in a positive environment, through a unique, holistic approach. Students have the opportunity to explore animal behavior, habitats, care practices, and sustainability through our Monarch Academy Animal Rescue Program (MAARP). Monarch Academy staff strive to provide students a well rounded education through the languages, music, performing and visual arts, and home economics programs. We believe that daily outdoor time enhances physical health, fosters a connection with nature and promotes an environmental awareness. We prioritize students' education and development through cross-curricular learning that integrates classroom subjects with life skills, fostering understanding across various disciplines and life experiences, facilitating both personal and academic growth."

What tradeoffs has your school made to serve families in this way?

"Monarch Academy aims to enrich students' learning experiences beyond the classroom. This blended learning approach combines traditional classroom instruction with real-world experiences, collaborative projects, and community engagement, providing a more holistic and dynamic educational experience. We recognize that each student learns differently, which is why we offer diverse opportunities and settings to reinforce learning concepts. Our students benefit from applying the knowledge learned in the classroom to real life as they form connections across various disciplines and areas of life.
Monarch Academy embraces the Waldorf educational approach, emphasizing a holistic style that nurtures students' intellectual, artistic, and practical skills, while fostering imagination and creativity. Through the Monarch Academy Animal Rescue Program (MAARP), students develop empathy and strengthen their connection to the environment, enriching their educational journey."

What type of student is a good fit for your school?

"Monarch Academy welcomes all students who share our passion and appreciation for animals and nature! Our everyday school programming includes the Monarch Academy Animal Rescue Program (MAARP) and dedicated outdoor time, enriching our students' educational experience. We invite all students and families whose vision of education extends beyond textbooks. Our emphasis is on academics through experiential and holistic methods."

Under what conditions would you advise a family against choosing your school?

"Monarch Academy may not be the best fit for parents who:
• Do not appreciate a holistic educational approach, where all aspects of the Monarch Academy experience contribute towards the same overarching goals.
• Do not want a close school community. Monarch Academy has a strong sense of community where both the teachers and parents come together to ensure the growth and success of the students."

How would you characterize your school's image amongst the public?

"Monarch Academy opened up during the COVID-19 pandemic which was a tough time for many. We persevered, problem solved and overcame every obstacle coming our way. We are constantly improving our school to better the lives of the students and families that walk through our doors. We collaborate with local businesses and parents, deeply appreciating their support. We give our all to our community partners, welcoming them to share their talents, careers, and expertise with our students. Our Monarch Academy staff go above and beyond to ensure that every student is learning and growing in a positive environment."

What improvements or changes has your school made recently?

"Monarch Academy is constantly evolving. Recently, we introduced our innovative Monarch Academy Animal Rescue Program (MAARP), where students delve into animal behavior, habitats, care practices, and sustainability."
