What is the Red Apple Academy?
The Red Apple Academy is a community program that caters to students in grades K-12.
You’re most welcome to join our classes, but the first step is to become a member of Red Apple Academy. Please note, there’s a membership fee of $145 per semester which is non-refundable. We’re eager to have you on board!
The program collaborates with independent teachers and businesses that provide their services in a shared location. Parents have the freedom to customize their child’s daily schedule, choosing from a range of core and elective classes that match their child’s interests and career aspirations.
It’s important to note that the Red Apple Academy is not a school. Instead, it offers marketing and property management services to its vendors, who are the owners and operators of their independent businesses. These businesses operate in the same building, and the Red Apple Academy advertises their classes to the community.
