Specialties
Calibre Academy is a tuition-free public charter school serving the community with an A-rated program and a strong focus on academics, character, and connection. What makes us unique is the way we combine high expectations with a supportive, family-like environment where every student is known and encouraged to grow.
We serve students in PreK–8 and build strong foundations in reading, writing, math, and critical thinking through engaging instruction and caring relationships. Our teachers partner closely with families, provide consistent structure, and celebrate progress—helping students build confidence and strong habits that last.
Calibre Academy is also known for a positive school culture. We emphasize respect, responsibility, and a welcoming environment where students feel safe, included, and motivated to do their best. Families choose Calibre because they want a school that communicates clearly, supports the whole child, and keeps students moving forward—academically and personally.
History
Established in 2000.
Calibre Academy was founded to give families a tuition-free public charter school option built on strong academics, supportive relationships, and a school culture where students can thrive. From the beginning, our focus has been creating a welcoming campus environment with clear expectations, caring teachers, and meaningful family partnership.
As we’ve grown, we’ve stayed committed to what matters most: helping students build a strong foundation in learning and confidence. Today, Calibre Academy continues that mission as a tuition-free public charter school, serving the community with an A-rated program, dedicated staff, and a school experience centered on student growth.
