The Academy functions as a non-traditional private school, which provides tuition free Christian education to low income disadvantaged at risk children and youth (who have not historically succeeded in traditional schools).\u00a0 The Academy seeks to help the students prepare for life by providing a safe learning community in which each student is treated with unconditional acceptance and is empowered to reach his\/her full potential.\u00a0 Rather than traditional age-segregated classes, The Academy consists of multi-grade learning communities in which older students assist in mentoring their younger classmates and students progress through competency levels, enabling them to work at their own pace.\u00a0 In addition to academic assignments, students complete chores on the ranch, which range from growing vegetables for the school cafeteria to caring for the horses rescued from abuse and neglect under the supervision of a certified equine therapist.\u00a0 Clear Springs ongoing support for The Academy includes the providing of holiday meals, school supplies, individual student back packs, winter coats, and the sponsoring of student events such as a Thanksgiving meal and\u00a0 yearbooks for each student.
