Welcome to Sheffield Academy!

We are a public charter school for competitive sports and academics.

Our mission is to promote the academic, emotional, and physical development of our students through the promotion of teamwork, sportsmanship and athletic competition.  By developing these skills, student-athletes will become confident and capable contributing members of our community.

We believe family, fitness, and academics create the best kind of childhood & healthiest foundation for a life well-lived. Our unique schedule allows us to teach core academic subjects and fitness for students to pursue special interests in competitive sports.

• Academics – we teach an Ohio Standards-based curriculum and individualize instruction to each student by assessing students on a bi-weekly schedule to know if a student is working ahead, falling behind, or right on track. We teach our core subjects of English Language Arts, Math, Social Studies & Science.

• Fitness & Extracurriculars – all students participate in our PE program which includes health topics & fitness activities.

• Family – we value families, partnership & participation—within the school community & at home. All sports team practices and most games are scheduled during the school day to keep evenings free for family time.

Thank you for choosing Sheffield Academy!

Sincerely,
Gary Lane
Principal
