Setting High Expectations for Every Scholar
Avery Jenner
I was drawn to Butler Academy because of the school’s desire to focus on the complete well-being of its scholars. BA is not only committed to developing outstanding learners but scholars with social/emotional skills that make them strong forces for their families and our community. The core value that resonates most with me is Respect because it reminds all of us to see the good in others, to value the abilities of others, and to appreciate people for who they are and what they bring to the BA family.

I was drawn to Butler Academy because of its dedication to ensuring that all students are given an equal opportunity to succeed through individualized instruction, multiple learning strategies, and positive feedback to help them develop successful learning approaches and confidence in their ability to succeed. As a child, school was often a struggle for me, therefore, I closely identify with giving students that extra boost to help them become productive learners.
