Spark Academy
We celebrate curiosity at Rocketship Spark. By nurturing and developing our students’ natural curiosity, they learn to become critical thinkers who develop their own ideas, express their feelings, make responsible choices, and achieve success in school and life. At Rocketship Spark, our Rocketeers learn to love learning and our outcomes show exactly that!
You can learn more about important school information and our school culture on our Parent Portal here!

The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education.
