It is with very heavy hearts that we share the passing of one of our sweet students, Jacob Garland, after his brave battle with cancer.

Jacob brought so much light, joy, and love to our school family. His smile and spirit will never be forgotten. We are incredibly grateful for the time we had with him.

Please keep Jacob’s family in your thoughts and prayers during this heartbreaking time. He will forever hold a special place in our hearts.

View Jacob Garland's obituary, send flowers, find service dates, and sign the guestbook.

🎨✨ A Special Day at the Bradbury Art Museum! ✨🎨

Today, our Academy students had the amazing opportunity to visit the Bradbury Art Museum at Arkansas State University to see artwork they helped create on display!

The featured piece, “Sense and Sensibilities: A Textured Mosaic Adventure” by Susan Whiteland, includes mosaic tiles and found objects — and our students had a hand in helping bring this beautiful textured artwork to life. Seeing their creativity represented in a museum setting was such a proud and joyful moment for all of us!

We are so grateful to the Bradbury Art Museum and Susan Whiteland for featuring our students’ work and welcoming us to visit in person. Our kids had the BEST time exploring the museum and seeing their contributions up close. Experiences like this mean so much and remind us how powerful art can be. 💙

The exhibition will continue through March 13th, so there’s still time to see it!
