Student life
Building Community
So much more than academics
At YMCA Academy, student life is about building confidence, forming meaningful friendships, and discovering your passions. Our small community creates a supportive environment where every student is known, valued, and encouraged to be themselves.
Small Community
Thanks to our small school size, students build real connections with peers who understand their journey.
Supportive Environment
Staff and students create a culture of acceptance, respect, and encouragement.
Diverse Activities
From outdoor adventures to creative pursuits, there's something for everyone to explore.
Development Resources
We have plenty to offer outside of class
As part of the YMCA community, our students have access to a wealth of resources that fuel their development. This includes state-of-the-art facilities, specialized career guidance, engaging experiential learning opportunities, and essential support programs designed to equip them with skills, confidence, and a global perspective for life after graduation.

Breakfast club
The teachers here are kind and easy to talk to. They understand my needs and help with the things I struggle with. It feels like a place where I can get the support I need and actually want to come to school.
I felt much more comfortable here because people are understanding and accepting. I can explain what I need, ask for help, and know that people will support me.
At my old school, I wasn’t doing well and didn’t want to go. Here, my grades improved, I started enjoying school, and I found a community where I could succeed.
You’re not defined by a learning disability. Teachers know you as a person, and everyone understands that every student has different needs.
