Our Mission:
Embers Academy is a private, independent school, rooted in the Catholic faith, serving grades pre-kindergarten through fifth. Embers is committed to the pursuit of academic excellence and character formation and works in partnership with parents, who are the primary educators of their children. Embers sees each student as a child of God — a gift from God — and helps them to acquire knowledge, develop skills, and practice moral behavior.

The Pillars of Our School

The combination of Faith, Knowledge, and Virtue are the foundation of an Embers education. Children experience the beauty of virtues through literature, art and music, and by guided practice throughout the school day. Our strong academic curriculum and wholesome learning environment prepare students to become confident and capable learners.

Partnership with Parents

Recognizing that parents are the first and primary educators of their children, Embers partners with parents as they strive to fulfill their God-given role. In partnership, we work together toward academic excellence and character formation of their children. Embers also facilitates opportunities for friendship and formation among parents.

Friendship, Involvement, and Formation

We offer our parents three primary means of support. While school-wide events help build school spirit and unity, smaller, informal social opportunities facilitate deeper personal friendships and collaboration between parents.

Friendship: The relationship between faculty and parents is founded on trust and communication. Embers strives to foster a healthy partnership that allows our students to thrive. Much of the parent support provided at Embers comes from the wisdom and encouragement parents give to one other. We also provide parents with social activities and events that help build authentic friendships among families.

Involvement: Embers parents have many opportunities to enhance the school experience of their children through involvement in a variety of school-related activities and events. We invite our parents to contribute their many unique talents and gifts to the school.

Formation: We offer a number of resources that are designed to support parents and address challenges that arise during various stages of parenting and in family life. We regularly invite experienced parents and professionals to address pertinent topics.
