Mission: Silver spruce academy provides educational enrichment programs and courses to students and families throughout the four corners area, in collaboration with other educational organizations. Spruce stands for supplemental program and resources utilitized in curriculum education.
Programs: Our greatest key achievements this year were adjusting to a decrease in our student count from expecting 60 students to serving 34 students. We lost two highly qualified teachers due to decreases in staff wages, went from 3 full time/ 3 part time employees to 1 full time/ 2 part time, yet managed to provide challenging and diverse classes to area homeschooling students and families. We achieved adjusting a budget by 50%, pulling together as a staff, operating a full year program with minimal funding, and proving that our organization is resilient and can be flexible with challenges.
