At Apogee Ames, our mission is to build a community of creative, curious and critically thinking leaders. We provide an environment like no other to stimulate the intrinsic desire to learn. Our campus offers a holistic and innovative viewpoint towards learning, which emphasizes social-emotional development, a physiology first approach and real-world problem-solving. We are dedicated to helping each member of our community reach their personal "Apogee"—their highest potential. Our campus is rooted in faith, family, and country. We foster a strong sense of responsibility, equipping todays families with the skills and values needed to lead, inspire, and create meaningful change within their communities and beyond.
WHAT IS APOGEE AMES
Apogee Ames is not a school by any means. Our campus is a learning hub for all in the community to utilize as needed to outsource support for your education. We provide an assortment of resources that could check off all or some of your boxes within your learning journey. We provide coaches to guide your learners on their individual paths. You decide what works for your family and young learners and we are the support system with many buckets you can select from. We offer full time and part time schedules to fit your families needs. If you are looking for a place for your homeschool co-op to get an enrichment opportunity, we are a great fit for that as well. Enrichment days offer exposure to a variety of interests to help your children with self awareness of who they are and what sparks curiosity in them.
We believe in emphasizing learning, creativity and critical thinking versus teaching for a standardized test. Focus is not placed on hours put in, but getting meaningful work done. Our aim is set on skill acquisition over grades. Our model lets all learners move at their own pace as compared to a one size fits all style. While we will not limit our campus to a specific denomination we will coach from and instill a biblical world view in all that we do. We prioritize speech, logic and debate instead of authoritative direction. Our campus will be a health haven with movement, proper nutrition and mental health at the forefront of all we do. Time outdoors will be maximized as we are designed to be in nature not indoors all day. Parents you are the main stakeholder in your families education and value system. We need your partnership and involvement at a high level to ensure success.
