What Is
Apogee Liberty
Apogee Liberty blends faith, values, and liberty with a modern, ownership based approach that prepares students for real life.
We’re a family-centered education enrichment campus, where:
Passion Driven Learning is seeking to understand and curiosity-powered. Youth grow when their learning and work are connected to meaningful goals, personal interests, and contribution beyond themselves.
Parents are the primary educators, walking beside their children. Strong learning communities are built through respect, trust, clear communication, and partnership among students, coaches, and families.
Strong Academics are individualized, flexible, and rooted in real-world skills and mastery. Learning is demonstrated through understanding and application, not merely time spent or amount of work completed or insignificant grade.
Freedom and Ownership are Paired - Freedom to make decisions about how to plan their day and what or how they learn. Ownership of personal goals built by the student, daily responsibilities, and actions. Learning is capitalized on within each decision made.
Character that Lasts - Faith and values are a daily focus intertwined into every lesson, activity, decision, and conversation.
Traditional School VS Apogee Liberty
| Traditional School | Apogee Liberty | |
|---|---|---|
| Learning Pace | One-size-fits-all pace. You can't speed up or slow down. | Individualized and patient to allow for actual understanding of topics. |
| Focus | Memorization overload of un-related subjects to take tests & get insignificant grades. | Interconnect subjects just as in real life, build academics around passions, with a foundation of ownership, leadership, faith, real-world skills. |
| Mentorship | Authoritarian, top down, "school" knows best, familes closed out approach. | Family & Coaches collaborate & work together in alignment. |
| Assessment | Standardized exams, more exams, followed my more exams. | Build portfolios, set & review weekly goals, & evaluate abilty to communicate their subject understanding to others. Similar to what you will find in real life. |
| Outcomes | 13 years of "school" provided test-ready graduates un-prepared for life. | Intrinsicly Motivated, Confident, Capable, Adaptable, Purpose-Driven, Character Guided Holistic Leaders. |
Who We Serve

They desire strong academic foundations, purposeful goals, meaningful work, and a culture of leadership and accountability, pursue excellence, and contribute to their communities.

A Day at Apogee Liberty
A day at Apogee Liberty is structured to provide the utmost liberty to think and operate within guardrails to develop independence, decision making skills, and ability to fail forward. In all, this block of time approach allow our youth to learn, lead, and win.
Individual academics and morning muster. Students set their own goals and study routines. They engage in critical thinking about world events. Coaches support and encourage rather than dictate what to do, how to do it and when to do it by.
Lunch, fitness, free play, and outside time is prioritized with optional independent academics, and creative work or passion projects. Plenty of freedom to make decisions and build friendships. Learning is happening!
Individual and collaborative project-based learning topics. Also, time to work on passion projects that help develop individual interests and hone academic skillsets. This block of time may also be used to work on assigned committees that run the campus.
Bolster the environment for growth. Monthly themes that shape character, faith reflections, and portfolio reviews. Leader, parent and coach check-ins. Communication and alignment is key on personal goals and academic priorities.
Apogee Liberty is designed to connect with, understand, and master.
We seek graduates who can think independently, act responsibly, communicate effectively, solve problems, set and pursue meaningful goals, and use their abilities in service to others.
