About Us
Here at Project Academy, we see the value in everyone. We want to be a catalyst for positive change, and since our beginnings in 2016, we’ve been driven by the same ideas we initially founded our Nonprofit Organization upon:
Get students excited about learning (life-long learners).
Have the reasoning skills to manage in today’s society and begin to build a set of skills to use in multiple careers.
Have the attitude of being the owner of your own company while working for others.
Understand that problems are opportunities. The bigger the problem, the bigger the opportunity. … Vinod Khosla
Have students better prepared for college or a career.
