ENROLLMENT 2026-2027 NOW OPEN!
Foundry Academy is now accepting applications for the 2026-2027 School Year for grades 6-12.
Our approach
-
Students come prepared: ready to engage with ideas, contribute to discussion, and go beyond routine assignments.
-
They are challenged through discussion, writing, and sustained academic work grounded in research, creativity, and original thought.
-
They grow by articulating their ideas, defending their thinking, and taking ownership of work that prepares them for college and beyond.
The Foundry VIsion
Foundry Academy was founded on a simple belief:
Students learn best when they are both challenged and fully engaged.
We combine the structure and expectations of a rigorous college-preparatory program with a more personalized, discussion-driven, and project-based approach.
Students are not only expected to master academic content, they are expected to communicate clearly, engage deeply, and apply what they learn.
​
The result is a school where students are known, challenged, and prepared for what comes next.
WHAT MAKES FOUNDRY ACADEMY DIFFERENT?
At many schools, families feel they must choose between:
-
academic rigor
-
student engagement​
​​
At Foundry Academy, students have the opportunity to do both.
They complete demanding academic coursework, including upper-level math, science, honors humanities, and dual enrollment, while also engaging in sustained projects, discussions, and independent work that require ownership and accountability.
​
This is not a simplified or less structured model. It is a different way of delivering a challenging and dynamic academic experience.
ACADEMIC LIFE
Students at Foundry Academy are held to clear and consistent standards.
​
High school students complete:
-
a full college-preparatory course load
-
writing-intensive assignments across subjects
-
discussion-based classes requiring preparation and participation
-
structured deadlines and independent work
Students are expected to:
-
manage their time effectively
-
contribute meaningfully to class discussions
-
take responsibility for their progress
Faculty guide and support students, but students are expected to meet the demands of the program.
COLLEGE READY
Students do not simply prepare for college, they begin doing college-level work while in high school.
All students have the opportunity to:
-
participate in dual enrollment coursework
-
take advanced academic classes
-
develop the skills required for success in college-level environments
-
take part in internships that help identify their interests and prepare them for the rigours of the real world.
Graduates leave the Foundry with experience managing real academic expectations, not just preparing for them.
WHO THRIVES AT
FOUNDRY ACADEMY?
Foundry Academy is designed for students who are:
-
capable of solid academic work
-
ready to take ownership of their learning
-
motivated by challenge
-
able to work independently and meet expectations
​
Many students come from traditional schools where they were capable, but not fully engaged.
This is not a remedial or highly supported environment.
Students who thrive here are those ready to take an active role in their education.
