"THIS IS A PLACE TO DISCOVER YOUR DESTINY AND DEVELOP THAT DESTINY"

Message
It is an honor and privilege to serve as Destiny Now Academy's head of school. I've had a life-long passion for working with children and feel very grateful for the opportunity to serve in this role.
​
As your head of school, I promise to keep students at the forefront of every decision we make as a school. We will strive to teach and provide students with the knowledge, skills, and mindset necessary to have a successful future. We will encourage and teach curiosity, problem-solving, and instill a life-long love of learning. We will teach having a growth mindset and GRIT so all students will learn to face challenges with confidence and perseverance. And most of all, every child will be valued and cared for.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
We believe that a small caring community of diverse, highly-trained professionals working with students who seek to develop a passion in life creates the ideal learning environment. Young people have curious minds, tremendous energy, innate talent and incredible spirit all waiting to be awakened and nurtured.
We respect research suggesting that students can reach full potential in analytical thinking, creative expression, and civic responsibility only when the walls of the traditional classroom are extended beyond the school facility. Whether in the classroom or pursuing extracurricular passions, our students are actively engaged in learning as accomplished scholars and artists.
STAFF DIRECTORY
At Destiny Now Academy, our dedicated faculty & staff members are the heart of our school community. Each member of our team is committed to fostering a safe, inclusive, and enriching environment where every student can thrive.
