Who We Are
At Genesis Innovation Academy, we’re cultivating great men and women of character, purpose and intellect.



What We Believe

Vision
Our vision is that our scholars will become great men and women of intellect, purpose, and character, who create legacies of generational prosperity for their families, their communities, and their world.
Mission
To cultivate the next generation of path-breaking innovators, who maximize their gifts, pursue their passion, and lead with uncompromising discipline and integrity.

Why single gender
Boys' Academy
The Challenge
Our sons are losing ground in education - they have lower grades, higher rates of special education placement, suspension and expulsion.
The problem is engagement.
The average boy thrives in a setting that focuses on active and tangible learning. Beyond math, instruction in traditional schools does just the opposite.
For urban boys this problem is now a crisis.

Why our Scholars Begin Early
Coding in Kindergarten
The proven benefits coding offers for youngsters five and up include: helping them learn by doing, improving critical thinking, sharpening problem-solving skills, making math fun and easier to visualize, and nurturing creativity.
Coding also acts as a powerful and powerfully engaging tool to help children develop their understanding of concrete operations (like how to combine, separate, order, and transform objects and actions). As a result, scholars better understand math, language structure, and many other critical thinking areas.
We want scholars on the path to developing these traits early, so we start coding early. We want our scholars to build tangible things, ignite their creativity, and innovate as they learn…coding does all this and much more.

Hear From Parents
Great school my son has been here since 6th grade he is now a 9th grader. The smaller school and more personal learning environment has helped him succeed and the innovative approach wth the separate boys and girls school is a big plus
I love Genesis. The small classroom sizes, E5 curriculum and project-based learning are my favorite aspects of our curriculum model -- not to mention the strong sense of community! Definitely a special place.
Our girls feel supported and have made great friends. The parents voices are heard and the admin is responsive to input.
Genesis is an great school with very supportive goals and culture. It stays true to its name with efforts to be innovative.
Many families have expressed how lucky they have been to find this school now and I can't agree more as an educator myself.
I have recommended this school as an option for many friends and families because of its commitment to take of everyone.
The teachers really challenge and deliver rigorous lessons/Curriculum that is appropriate to the level of learning, as well as pushing to learn and develop even more cognitively. The Administration is in tune with the learning process as well and makes sure that the environment is conducive to sound learning each and every day, in person as well as virtual.
All I can say about Genesis Innovation Academy is this was the best choice of a school for my children ,the administration,staff,and teachers are amazing in all they they do for these children they go above and beyond to ensure all children have what they need .
