GOALS ACADEMY
A school that families love!
UPDATES!
IMPORTANT SURVEY
We would appreciate your completion of a short survey because your input is extremely important. We are outgrowing our current GOALS Academy site. We long for a makerspace, performance venue, green grass, etc. We have done much with what we have. But, with a long waiting list and the growing challenges in the area, it is time for us to seek out a different location. With this in mind, this short survey has been created to get your input. The major factor that needs to be taken into consideration will be the distance you would be willing to travel from the current site. We do not want to lose any of our amazing scholars and supportive families. Of course, any move we make will take awhile. But, we want your input as we begin to explore possibilities.
