About Headwaters Academy

Headwaters Academy engages students with an exceptional outdoor, environmental and entrepreneurial education using authentic project-based curriculum that focuses on learning to adapt and thrive within their local and global world.

Headwaters Academy is located on 160 acres of forest, streams, ponds, and fields at the tip of the Georgian Triangle. This unparalleled natural site provides the perfect setting for our experiential and entrepreneurial school program.

Children learn naturally. That learning is maximized when they see utility in what they’re learning or a passion for what they’re studying.

We spark that passion

Provide that utility

And create the canvas upon which

dreams are fulfilled.
