We're an Open Door to Academic Success

Butler Academy

BA is an entry point to academic achievement, self-confidence, inclusivity, and new ways of thinking and learning. We instill in our teachers and scholars that our visions for tomorrow are in no way limited by the capabilities we possess today.

Everything we do at BA is designed to make everything else possible.

75% at the 75th percentile by 2030

We’ve set a lofty, long-term goal, but we fully expect to achieve it by 2030. We’re resetting our expectations for our teachers, scholars, and families and providing the necessary support mechanisms to back it up. As a result, we expect 75% of our scholars to perform at the 75th percentile in reading and math by the end of their fourth year at BA.

Social-Emotional Learning

A Model that Serves the Whole Child

We are committed to serving the “whole child” through standards-based, rigorous academics and a systematic approach that weaves Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) into all educational experiences.

This model is the bedrock of our existence and the rocket ship fueling our scholars toward positive outcomes, accomplishments, and lives.

We Celebrate Rising Stars

We celebrate scholars who achieve personal growth goals from one MAP testing period to another. After all, they’ve earned it! We envision a day in the not too distant future when 100% of our scholars will be BA Rising Stars.

K-12 by 2028

We’re on our way to becoming a fully inclusive learning community with Lower, Middle, and Upper Schools, adding a new grade every year until we’re BA All the Way.
