Heroes Academy is an innovative Pre-K through 8th Grade School in the Treasure Valley. We're reinventing education, and your family can be a part of it.
Supported by the latest in technology and cognitive science, we move beyond the traditional tools of lectures, homework, high-stakes tests, and grades. At Heroes Academy, our students learn in collaborative classrooms of multi-age learners. Our flexible approach challenges each student with their own differentiated learning plan and inspires them through real-world projects and experiences.

Heroes Academy is one of 150+ Acton Academies around the world.
This proven model allows our students to develop the skills they really need: critical thinking, group collaboration, conflict resolution, decision-making, and problem-solving. These, along with “soft skills” like self-discipline, emotion regulation, self-awareness, and grit, position our children to tackle anything.

At Heroes Academy, we believe that learning to do, learning to be, and learning to learn are more important than memorization alone – learning to know.
