Inspire Academy is the first and only school at which students can get an EL Education in Muncie, Indiana. We are committed to providing students with opportunities that develop a passion for life-long learning. In keeping with the ancient Hebrew proverb, we believe that children are not vessels to be filled but fires to be lit.
Make a difference by partnering with us to inspire children to achieve more than they believe is possible, see more than they know exists, and start working today toward a better tomorrow. With the help of supporters like you, we are quickly improving our facilities. There is still work to be done on roofing, energy efficient lighting and windows, HVAC upgrades, and enhancing outdoor learning spaces. Help us achieve our goal!

Donor Honor Roll
Inspire Academy has been fortunate to receive the support of many of the citizens of Muncie and even others from across the country who believe in our vision and model of education. Their generosity has made it possible for us to provide extra enrichment to our students and is allowing us to narrow the resource gap that so many of our students face.
