Ironwood Academy is a hybrid program for intrinsically motivated students. Our model is ideal for parents who value high academic standards and who want to participate in their child's educational experience by supporting and supervising the completion of the homework assignments. We combine the best of an affordable private school and the flexibility of a homeschool schedule, offering college-preparatory courses in a Christian environment taught by the most qualified and engaging teachers.

For 2026-2027, we are running two parallel programs. Two days of core academic classes per week: either Tues/Thurs OR Mon/Wed. Both programs will provide college-preparatory courses with in-person instruction by teachers who have superior credentials.

In addition, as an OPTION, we are offering two days weekly of HOMEWORK HELP for a per semester fee. For students enrolled in the Tues/Thurs core academic classes, their Homework Help days will be on Monday and Wednesday from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm. For students enrolled in the Mon/Wed core academic classes, their Homework Help days will be on Tuesday and Thursday from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm. This overlap will provide more opportunities for social engagement for all of our enrolled students. Homework Help will be provided by qualified tutors.

See the Q&A for more information about the parallel programs.

We are a Christian, non-denominational, hybrid tutorial program for students in grades Pre-K-12. We offer a new approach to parents who want to be actively involved in their children’s educational experience and who also want more time together as a family. Imagine a balance between an affordable private school and the flexibility of a homeschool schedule. At Ironwood, we are the primary teachers; parents do not have to worry about the curriculum, content, or pacing. More like college, students attend core academic classes two days a week and work independently or with assistance to complete their assignments at home. Our Instructors are highly qualified and most have Masters degrees or Ph.D.'s. Each faculty member has a wealth of experience and passion for the subjects they teach.

Core Academic Courses

Currently in the 2025-2026 school year, students in grades K - 12 attend classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. On those days, they receive in-person instruction in four required core academic areas: English Language Arts, History (Social Studies), Math, and Science, as well as instruction and coaching in our unique Emotional Intelligence or "EQ" program (for students in grades K-9) one day per week. Students in grades 5-12 are also given an elective course such as Studio Art, Personal Finance, Spanish, or Theater Arts, etc..

If a student needs extra academic assistance, parents can make an appointment for a free tutoring session with one of our qualified Instructors to take place on Wednesdays during the school year. Free 30-minute block tutoring appointments are available between 9:00 am and 12:00 noon on Wednesdays.

We are offering a new expanded parallel program for the 2026-2027 academic year. It will replace the current Wednesday-only tutoring offering.

Ironwood Academy Offers Unique Emotional Intelligence (EQ) Curriculum

Ironwood collaborated with national Christian child development expert, Dr. Joshua Straub, to curate a first-of-its-kind emotional intelligence (EQ) curriculum that is taught to all students in grades K-9. Ironwood Academy’s objective is to provide an emotionally-safe environment in which students (and parents) will be given specific tools to identify and regulate emotions and, just as importantly, to recognize and respect others’ feelings. The curriculum includes training on neurobiological concepts regarding brain structure, development and function; healthy problem solving and coping skills; cognitive flexibility and language processing; as well as teaching and practicing listening and social skills.
