Our Story

Our Mission Statement

At Zephyr Learning Academy, we are dedicated to transforming education by prioritizing student health and well-being. As a microschool, our mission is to address the growing children's health crisis by providing a learning environment and curriculum that integrate wellness, nutrition, and physical activity with a tailored, high-quality education. We strive to nurture the whole child—mind, body, and spirit—ensuring that each student thrives academically while developing lifelong healthy habits in a supportive and empowering community.

Our Vision

At Zephyr Learning Academy, our vision is to create a learning environment where students love school and value their education. We strive to equip our students with the knowledge and skills to confidently self-advocate for their needs. Our students are happy, engaged, and supported in their academic journey. We believe in fostering a culture of well-being, where students are healthy, families are actively involved, and learning extends beyond the classroom into the home. Together, we build a community that nurtures a lifelong passion for education and personal growth.

Who We Serve

At Zephyr, we currently serve secondary students (6th–12th grade) and anticipate expanding to include lower grade levels in the future. We seek families who value a balanced educational experience and prioritize the well-being of their students.

Joining Zephyr is a commitment not just for students, but for the entire family. We believe in fostering a supportive, loving community where parents actively participate in their child’s learning journey. Together, we create an environment that nurtures growth, connection, and lifelong learning.
