Welcome to Apt Academy
of Canby, Oregon

A Home School Alternative Built on Faith, Character, and Purposeful Education

At Apt Academy, we believe education should do more than transfer knowledge—it should shape character, strengthen families, and prepare students to live with purpose.

Our foundation is rooted in traditional Christian values, including:

Kindness and mutual respect
Personal responsibility and accountability
Discipline and self-governance
Clear communication and honesty
A safe, structured learning environment
Biblical principles that support strong moral character

We’ve created a school where students are known, expectations are clear, and learning can happen without distraction.
For many families, choosing an alternative to public school is not a casual decision; it’s a necessary one. Apt Academy exists to provide a safe, focused, and values-aligned environment where education, not outside agendas, is the priority.

Thank You, Sponsors!

Personalized K–12 Alternative Education Program Designed for Student Success

Public schools don’t work for every child nor for every family. And, for many students, including high-aptitude, gifted, or TAG students, it doesn’t work at all.

Our K–12 Education Program in Canby, Oregon, is a homeschool alternative for families seeking something fundamentally different:

Individualized educational
Small classes
A structured environment free of outside influence
A community grounded in shared values
Learning that evolves with each student.
This is more than “not school.”

It’s a purpose-built environment for students who need challenge, flexibility, and support while maintaining meaningful, age-appropriate social connections.

An Education Program That Meets Students Where They Are and Calls Them Higher

It is our sovereign responsibility as parents to ensure our children have an education they can rely upon. Every student is created with unique abilities, strengths, and potential, and every student learns differently.

Our education program is intentionally designed to:

Individualized coursework based on ability, readiness, and interests
Flexible pacing for both acceleration and reinforcement
Targeted academic support where needed
Instruction from teachers experienced in guiding diverse and independent learners

Students will be challenged academically while also developing character, responsibility, and confidence; skills with real-world value that extend well beyond the classroom.

This unique approach supports:

Gifted and high-aptitude students
Students who are under-challenged, disengaged, or frustrated in traditional schools
Families facing common homeschooling challenges but wanting a better option
Families seeking a more structured and values-aligned school environment

Parent Testimonials

"I have noticed so much growth in my child since being enrolled at APT. I’ve seen her vocabulary increase, her spelling improve and math skills increase. I have also noticed a significant improvement in her social skills. APT has been one of the best decisions I have made for my child’s education. My child has been given an opportunity for growth and learning that was not available in the public school. I have seen significant improvement, and my child is thriving at APT. I love that APT adapts to my child’s individual needs. "

"M's" personality and self-esteem has grown exponentially since being at Apt. His handwriting and spelling have also gotten exponentially better. Less arguing at home about having to write/do homework as his skills have grown. He also just LOVES going to school every day and is usually ready to leave before I am. The staff is caring and willing to work with you and your child's individual needs. Your children can learn at the level that is right for them and definitely not get left behind even if it takes them a little longer to learn things. This is by far the best educational experience I have ever had. I wish there had been something like this when I was a kid.

We picked Apt Academy because we wanted more for our son—somewhere he wouldn't just get by but genuinely excel. He struggled a bit before, and we were on the lookout for a school that offered a supportive, personalized education. Apt Academy seemed like the ideal place, where he could overcome challenges and really shine. The most noticeable improvement since enrolling at Apt Academy has been in his reading and writing skills. It's incredible to see how much he's advanced. Even more heartwarming is how much he loves going to school now. It's clear he's not just learning; he's enjoying the journey, which speaks volumes about the environment at Apt.
