Spyrja Academy to open microschool this fall in New Braunfels

“If it weren’t for them, I don’t know if this would be possible,” Simmang said.

The academy is unaccredited but will teach ninth to 12th grades year-round. Private schools typically receive accreditation after three years, Simmang said.

Spyrja Academy will have integrated curriculum with afternoons dedicated to enrichment time. On Fridays, Spyrja Academy will have “open school,” which will give parents the opportunity to stop by for coffee or breakfast and learn more about the academy.

“We’re going to offer a full battery of stuff that an accredited high school would offer just in a very different format,” Simmang said.

Spyrja Academy will have several professionals from the community visiting the academy to teach physical fitness and wellness, blacksmithing, math, orbital mechanics, rocketry, entrepreneurship, and mechanics.

The academy is enrolling for the 2023-24 school year. 512-608-2826. www.sanewbraunfels.org
