Acton Hybrid Academy Castle Rock, CO

Our final week 👏 It's been a journey the past five years, opening a new program in 2020 had its challenges. Yet, so much growth & too many blessings to count from the families, learners, & other owners. 😘🙌Thank you for being a part of our story! We will miss so much but we trust God has some amazing next steps.

NEW Owner, NEW Days & NEW Direction for 2025-26!
After five years we (The Sprister Family) will be going on our next great adventure and Shannon Harp (one of our guides for the past 2 years) will be starting a NEW two-day homeschool support program.

Adventure Academy will offer a unique educational journey that combines homeschool support with enriching collaboration and real-life experiences. Our two-day program is designed to enhance critical thinking and collaboration, rooted in a Biblical World-View.

A Psalm of Thanksgiving.
Make a joyful shout to the LORD, all you lands!
2 Serve the LORD with gladness;
Come before His presence with singing.
3 Know that the LORD, He is God;
It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;fn
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
And into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
5 For the LORD is good;
His mercy is everlasting,
And His truth endures to all generations.
Psalm 100 NKJV

Session 2 & one of my favorite quests... US Citizenship & voting!🇺🇲 Dressing up made it even more fun as we walked the learners through what Elis Island may have been like through the eyes of an immigrant in the early 1900s. Their mission is to take the next seven weeks & learn all they can to pass the immigration test. 🇺🇲❤️🤍💙🇺🇲

2024-25 PARENT ONBOARDING for our two day homeschool support academy ✅️

Next up... Welcome Ceremony & 1st day of academy 🙌

Join us in prayer for a year focused on discipleship, digging deep into God's word, asking our overarching question:
Does the past determine the future?🙏

And to live out more of the TRAIN UGLY MANIFESTO
Believe in yourself. You are a learning machine.
With time and hard work, you can get better at anything.
Try new things. Take risks. Make mistakes. Fall down. Ask questions. Embrace the pressure. Feel the fear, and dare greatly.

Let it rip. Speak up. Bust out of your comfort zone.
Always remember that getting better is not pretty. That you are going to be bad first. That growth comes from struggle. That skills are built, not born — and they are yours if you earn them, period.

Seek out challenges. Appreciate obstacles. Learn like a scientist. Don’t eat the mallow.
Love the journey.
