Mission

Confident, Capable Learners and Leaders for a Changing World.

Headwaters Academy has long been known for its strong academics, supported by small class sizes and talented, dedicated faculty. The classes cover the traditional academic and study skills necessary for success, but more importantly, the students are challenged to develop in areas determined as the “core competencies” of Headwaters Academy.
