What drives us…

Authenticity.

The independent businesses that we start, buy or invest in — share the same principles of providing great service to their communities, have their own unique visions and an onsite leader who has the same passion for providing great learning and great service to their communities.

Purpose.

The Academy businesses thrive under managing partners (sometimes CEOs), with real stake in the outcome. Our managing partners choose to pursue these ventures with the Academy because of the shared principles, feelings of servant leadership and because purpose-driven opportunities like these are unique.

Soul.

We keep things small. Expansion through more layers of managers cannot translate an owner’s unique passion. The more great people that the Academy spreads ownership to, the more dreams that are brought about, the more energy, resources and support our Academy gains.

Our people bring their whole selves to work, with development opportunities that they cannot get anywhere else.
