We are a micro-school! Apogee Fredericksburg is a Private Education and Leadership Academy designed to empower students with real-world skills that matter. We don't have desks, homework, grade levels, or grades. We focus on skill acquisition in areas that matter. We encourage our students to find their passions and run with them while still acquiring the total package of valuable life skills needed to be successful in all facets of life, from health & happiness to financial literacy.

We are a K-12 Academy. We are currently accepting applications for ages 5-16. We plan for every student who starts with us to graduate from Apogee.

We are not related to a specific denomination and don't require a declaration of faith. With that said, Apogee Fredericksburg follows and educates from a Christian worldview. We pray and discuss what He has done and continues to do for us. But we are open to any family comfortable with that integration of faith that agrees to follow the Apogee Code of Honor, Integrity, Politeness, Bravery, Honesty, Compassion, and Loyalty.

BOTH! Parents are and will always be the primary educators. We celebrate homeschooling and want to support our community of homeschoolers, and we understand that every family will have a different set of needs.
Here is what we offer...
APOGEE ACADEMY: Full-Time Monday-Friday 8:30am-3:30pm
BASECAMP: Ages 3-5, Full Time or Part Time. Flexible.

HOMESCHOOL FRIDAYS: Fridays Only 8:30am-3:30pm

At Apogee Fredericksburg, Project-Based Learning means students learn by doing. Instead of memorizing facts for a test, our young leaders dive into meaningful, hands-on projects that connect to real life. Whether launching a business, building a simple machine, or solving a real-world challenge, students learn core academic skills while developing creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking.

At Apogee Fredericksburg, the Socratic Method is how we teach students to think, not what to think. Instead of lectures and easy answers, we ask big questions that spark curiosity and conversation. Coaches don't give the answers—they challenge students to listen closely, speak clearly, and defend their ideas with evidence. Through respectful dialogue and deep inquiry, our learners develop critical thinking, communication skills, and the confidence to seek truth and lead with wisdom.

We have an internal system that tracks progress and points earned by showing various levels of proficiency if various areas of study. It is much more about skill acquisition and progress than performance. If they show efficacy in creating and breaking down a profit and loss statement, they earn a level rating in that subject, and as they continue to show more growth they level up. If there is clear gap from where they are to where they could be, we show them where the gaps are and they try again on the next project. Now take that philosophy and apply it to all of the skills we need and want in life.

​​Our young men and women are grouped by developmental levels, taking everything into account, such as communication skills, academic skills, emotional intelligence, etc., to ensure they are in the best group to maximize the growth of both the individual and the group.
Developmental Levels and Approximate Ages:
Basecamp: 3-5
Pathfinders: 5-8
Trailblazers: 8-11
Ascent: 12-14
Summit: 14+

First, the student, family, and coaches work together to determine whether college is the right fit based on the student’s long-term goals. If college is necessary for their chosen path, we offer a variety of flexible and purposeful options. Through our partnership with Christian Halls International, students can access accredited university courses—and even complete entire degree plans—while still at Apogee. Most students on this track aim to earn an associate degree, then transfer to a university as adult learners. This approach not only dramatically increases acceptance rates but also significantly improves graduation outcomes compared to the traditional college route.
