“It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to
have tried to succeed.”
Hi, I'm Sasha Aarsen, a former collegiate athlete and fitness entrepreneur turned homeschool mom. I am the dreamer and visionary behind our campus. I will be the head coach guiding our learners down their individual paths. We have three sons and have always wanted more for them when it comes to education. I felt ill equipped in providing them the skills they need to create the life they want to live. I dream about them creating a business together but struggled to find ways to plant that seed of intention within them. Then I came across Apogee Strong. It was exactly the partnership I was looking for to provide the absolute best for my kids and family as a whole. The greatest part is this also allows us to provide a similar opportunity for others as well. I can't wait to open our campus in the Fall of 2025. It is exciting to think about how our life and the lives of those who come alongside us are going to change in the most remarkable ways.
Hi, I'm Nick Aarsen, the brain and the braun behind the business side of Apogee Ames. I am a CPA by day and Father / Coach to our three amazing boys by night. The desire to find and provide an out of the box, more hands on real life experience style of education is what sealed the deal for me with Apogee Strong. Our family is at its best when we can learn and explore out in the world rather than participating in the current textbook learning environment. While this may works for some, it is not and has never been a one-size fits all approach. Building Apogee Ames for our family while also being able to provide this type of opportunity, which is not available in our area, to others is what fuels our passion. We can't wait to see where this takes us next. The future is looking bright. Come join us!
Tim’s hard work and passion have resulted in an extraordinary life. Green Beret, UFC Fighter, and Television Host are all among his career highlights, but perhaps not as personally meaningful as Husband, Father, and Patriot. Tim is a great example of being unapologetically American!
