Third Academy’s East School Fundraising Campaign is a $2.8MM campaign for unconventional greatness – on all levels. Right now, we have an opportunity to purchase our new home – its move-in ready and on the market now. The new school is a remarkable change for the Third Academy family; larger classrooms, additional therapy and resource rooms, access to a gymnasium, library — and for our little learners; access to outdoor spaces and a playground. With the purchase of the new school we can continue to adapt to the unique and ever-changing needs of our students, and provide the best possible education by creating a positive, safe and caring, success-oriented learning environment, and by developing significant relationships with our students and families. The possibilities for our future are not only endless, but finally achievable thanks to the support of donors like you.

Invest in a legacy with a 95% success rate. Countless children who didn’t “fit the norm” have found their way to Third Academy and have flourished. They continue to have a very positive ripple effect in our communities. We champion personal development, high quality learning and meaningful connections. By making space for a broad range of learning styles, most student find renewed strength and purpose here.
Our students define success for themselves. For some it means learning to speak, or making new friends. For others, it means graduating with a high school diploma and pursing a career.
