Bowers Academy

Students who thrive in a small environment that develops character, integrity, compassion for others, and academic skills will find success at Bowers Academy. Founded to address the needs of at-risk students, Bowers Academy balances academic challenge with self-reflection, exceptionally small class sizes, and the unique learning environment of the Bowers Farm.

Our ultimate goal at Bowers Academy is to graduate competent, empathic, aware, and empowered individuals.

A Look Forward - Safe & Secure

Our ongoing mission to continually improve the safety and security of all buildings
Last spring, our country reeled from yet another horrific incident in a school. The sadness and anger I felt that day weighed heavily for a long time.
