"We recently moved to Fishhawk and our three kids have been attending this school for a couple months now and I have nothing but good things to say. The team is easy to communicate with, the teachers are excellent, and the school goes above and beyond to keep the kids & parents engaged."
"We absolutely love this school. Our son has been enrolled since he was 5 months old (now 3yrs). Dropping him off each morning knowing he is safe and happy is our #1 priority and YIA Fishhawk makes that happen."

What Makes Us Different
The Innovation Advantage™ at Ebenezer Academy
Children need more than answers. They need to know what to do when they don't have one.
That's why our learning experience is powered by Innovation Advantage™, an educational approach designed to develop curious thinkers, confident communicators, creative problem-solvers, and capable learners.
Children build strong foundations in literacy, math, science, and other essential skills while learning how to apply what they know to questions, challenges, projects, and real-world experiences.
This process teaches children that learning isn't simply about getting the right answer. It's about asking questions, exploring possibilities, creating ideas, communicating their thinking, learning from what happens, and trying again.
The CAPE™ Strategy
At the heart of the approach is a cycle children use again and again: Challenge, Analyze, Produce, Evaluate.
- CChallengeWhat are we trying to figure out?
- AAnalyzeWhat do we know, and what can we discover?
- PProduceWhat can we create, test, or do?
- EEvaluateWhat happened, what did we learn, and what could we try next?
Whole-Child, Future-Ready Learning
Our proprietary Innovation Advantage™ Curriculum supports every aspect of a child's development:
- CognitiveEarly math, literacy, science, and problem-solving
- Social & EmotionalSelf-awareness, empathy, and giving back
- CreativeArt, music, design thinking, and expression
- PhysicalMovement, outdoor play, and hands-on exploration
- Global ReadinessSTEAM, cultural understanding, and future skills
Learning Designed for a Changing World
Answers are becoming easier to find. The ability to ask meaningful questions, evaluate information, collaborate with others, communicate ideas, and solve unfamiliar problems is becoming even more valuable.
That's the Innovation Advantage™.
At Ebenezer Academy, we're preparing children not only for their next classroom, but for a future they will help create.
Don't just learn the answer. Learn to figure it out.
