Important Updates about Impending Weather
Schools will be closed Tuesday, Aug. 29 through Thursday, Aug. 31

This closure includes all school operations, afterschool activities, athletics, and other extracurricular activities.
No decision has been made for Friday.
Please note that for today (Monday, Aug. 28) all school operations, afterschool activities, athletics, and other extracurricular activities will remain as normal.
Tigers Today, Leaders Tomorrow
At YMCA Tiger Academy, a free public school, we believe school should be more than a place to learn reading, writing and arithmetic. We approach the education of each child with a commitment to helping him or her grow in spirit, mind and body.
YMCA Tiger Academy focuses on rigorous academic standards, character development, personal and social responsibility and strong family involvement, while providing each child with a structured and nurturing learning environment. The learner-centered culture includes a 7 ½ hour school day (8:00 am – 3:30 pm) and a 195-day school year, with before and afterschool care available.
We opened our doors in 2009 and now serve Pre-K through 5th grade students. Through a unique partnership with the Johnson Family YMCA, our scholars enjoy enrichment opportunities and benefit from family support services.
The Tiger Difference
- Longer school day (8:00am – 3:30pm) and school year than traditional public schools
- Strong college focus from the first day students step into a classroom
- 1:1 student to technology device ratio
- Before and Afterschool care available
- Enrichment opportunities and family support services at the Y including a family membership for each student
- Learn more about charter schools from the charter school fact sheet.
