Akers Academy offers an extensive early learning curriculum called "Active Minds" to help build a strong foundation of self confidence and academic excellence.
Our philosophy at Akers Academy is to engage active minds in a healthy learning environment.
The need to successfully manage, contribute, grow and learn from life is dependent on a child's mind being constantly engaged in learning. It is this engagement that stimulates physical, social and intellectual growth which are the building blocks of self-esteem and a healthy and happy beginning. This is Akers Academy.
