Sharp Academy

SHARP ACADEMY is a collegiate preparatory school committed to preparing bright students who learn differently to reach their God-given potential for college and for life! We embrace creativity in learning through academics, sports, fine arts, and expanded sociability! This is our 14th School year, and we are the only Early Collegiate Private Christian School in Lubbock, Texas. We specialize in college prep education for any student in grades PreK-12th Grade. We have a proven success record for students with diagnosed learning disabilities such as dyslexia and ADHD, who have above average learning capabilities. We are, however, NOT a "Special Education" school. We do not modify any assignments, nor do we have intellectual disability, autism, behavior, conduct or emotional disturbance programs available on our campus. Our campus methodology and teachers are trained in collegiate academic education for students at or above academic ability in the classroom. Our motto "Master your resources; if you don't know the answer, then you need to know where to find it." In 2009, the first class of kids wished to tell the world that they were not dumb just because they were dyslexic; but they ARE SHARP, and Chase had a friendship with Texas Tech University legend, Coach Marsha Sharp. The kids voted to name their school in honor of Coach Sharp, and to make the statement that they ARE SHARP! Marsha Sharp has dedicated her time, wisdom and love of education to many organizations in West Texas since retiring from Tech University. She serves on the Advisory Board of our organization. Sharp Academy has now had 39 graduates, through 2022. Together they earned over 470 college hours while still in high school, with 76% of these graduates still in college today, or have completed their bachelor's degree. So much for unteachable, at Sharp, students are overcoming obstacles and excelling academically. Thriving in collegiate education, becoming the leaders of tomorrow. Praise God!
