Iron Academy

Iron Academy exists to shape Christian boys into exceptional, biblically-grounded young men who are maximally developed for a life of leadership, self-discipline, and service. Biblical manhood is never an accident and this core belief is reflected in the name of the school, which was inspired by Proverbs 27:17: "As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another." I know that making the decision about which school will be the best fit for your son is extremely important. Schools change lives, and you want your son to be in an environment where he will be encouraged and inspired to be the man God has designed him to be. At Iron Academy, your young man will be well-prepared to enter university and to be a strong, ethical leader in a global economy that values the ability to operate in a variety of subject matters with fluency. As you ally with the Iron faculty, your boy will also be forged into a veritable young man ready to embrace the rigors of biblical manhood. We embrace and share the high expectations you have for your young man. In a world that expects very little of adolescents, we think our young men—all of them—are quite capable of great things. Iron Academy is a special place due to its educational philosophy designed specifically for the unique needs of developing male minds, for its programs created to build biblically-grounded young men who embrace hard work and service, and for its tight alliance with families. Our programs are precisely designed to help young men focus on their development at a time in life when distractions abound and when society barrages them with erroneous portraits of modern manhood. We believe that young men learn best in an environment where they have the confidence to explore new and different ideas in a context that leads them to embrace the rigors of biblical manhood. We know boys. Their potential, energy, and passion are celebrated here. - Alan Hahn, Iron Academy
