do you still believe in heroes?


We do!

answer the call. Enter the story. Change the world. 

We believe each child who enters The Sanctuary Academy will find their God given calling that will change the world.  Each child will become part of a fellowship of peers who are heroes on a journey within the Great Adventure of Faith, Truth and Love.  Our children are independent learners who find great joy in learning in a tight knit community that embodies virtue and excellence. We are a community that models ordered freedom, shares learning, and travels the Way of Beauty. 

Are you and your family ready to join us?

Joy + Rigor = Mastery


Embracing rigor is part of saying 'yes' to a Hero's Journey. Deep learning brings a special sense of joy, but the mastery required for a Hero's Journey goes even further, requiring commitment, discipline and hard work towards a worthy goal.

PARENT TESTIMONIALS

My learner has grown so much already in terms of independence, self-confidence, communication, and how he handles responsibilities. Our commute to the school is anywhere from 40 minutes to 2 hours each way and it is completely worth the effort so he can be in this community. We are very grateful!
— J. Rohr, Parent, The Sanctuary Academy
The school provides a learning environment where the kids can thrive individually while still growing within a community. They invest in each child’s education and overall character building. The beauty my family has experienced through Sanctuary Academy cannot be found in traditional schools.
— L. Hernandez , Parent, The Sanctuary Academy
There is no other school that offers what Michael and Kelly Sullivan do at the Sanctuary Academy. Many say there is no perfect school but this Academy rivals that claim. We couldn’t be happier.
