Homeschooling is a journey. Those who have already experienced the peaks and valleys themselves are often the most qualified to offer encouragement and advice; which in turn, provides greater hope and confidence than the most well thought out plans, excellent curricula, or state standards.

Welcome to Inspire Learning Academy
For a decade, the staff, instructors, and community of Inspire Learning Academy have come alongside parents who have taken the leap to be in control of their child’s education. Our objective is not to shoulder their responsibility and become their “alternative school”, rather we help them to embrace their decision and support them through the process. We share our experiences to help them get organized, and find resources. We listen to their fears and challenges and become a bridge between their decision to homeschool and gaining much needed confidence to keep moving forward.
We wholeheartedly believe parents know their kids best. We believe they should have the power and option to choose where, when, what, and how their children receive an education.
We believe they CAN homeschool and that ILA can help!
And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap a great harvest if we do not give up. - Galatians 6:9

It’s hard to believe that Inspire Learning Academy is celebrating our 10th anniversary in 2022. A lot of changes and challenges have arisen over the years, but nothing has had more impact on the homeschooling community as a whole than COVID 19. Although, to be honest, I’m not certain if COVID was the problem or the catalyst that revealed what’s been there all along - just hidden in the shadows.
Whatever the cause, parents are continuing to leave traditional education in droves and they need the support of like-minded folks to rally around and champion them. This is our time to SHINE!

Our little nonprofit is so blessed to have a group of experienced, passionate, faith-filled staff! Our team is committed to empowering parents to use their voices and votes to stand up for parent control, classroom transparency, and choices in how their children are educated. We want to support them in protecting traditional family values both at home and in the classroom. Who knew education in America would become the mission field as well as the battle ground?

We can’t do it all. Our resources are very limited as our company is still in the process of getting our financial legs under us again and rebuilding our infrastructure. We are relying more than ever on the generosity and support of our families, friends, and community to help us get the curriculum, classroom supplies, and rebuild our reserves for scholarships and payroll.

Our homeschooling enrichment center is now completely dependent on the private funding of our local homeschooling parents and angel investors like you. Our objective is to support parents in their choice to home educate without relying on government funding and control. Your generosity helps us to further our mission of offering resources, opportunities, and support to local homeschool children and families.

We can’t do this alone. How will you help?
Your Support directly impacts ILA.
Our instructors, students, and families thank you! -
Inspire Learning Academy strives to be a safe and supportive learning environment where students are encouraged to learn and grow.
