OUR STORY
Marvin Academy was established in March 2016 in response to the growing demand for a more personalized and holistic approach to education. As a former high school math and science teacher, I have always felt a deep passion for guiding students through their educational journeys. Through prayer and reflection, I felt a deep sense of purpose and direction that guided me towards this endeavor.
From the very beginning, I envisioned Marvin Academy as more than just a traditional academic institution. I wanted it to be a place where children could not only excel academically but also feel a sense of belonging and comfort, as if they were at home. Our aim was to provide an educational experience that extended beyond textbooks and exams, while also incorporating real-life connections that would resonate with students throughout their lives.
Through unwavering dedication, the support of an exceptional staff, and the power of prayer, we have been able to turn this vision into a reality. Marvin Academy stands as a testament to faith, love, passion, and triumph. Our primary objective is to ensure that each and every student receives the highest quality education and discovers their true potential. We firmly believe in empowering our students to take ownership of their academic journey, fostering a sense of responsibility and equipping them with the skills they need to succeed in all aspects of life.
With great enthusiasm, we welcome you to Marvin Academy and we invite you to join us on this journey as we build a school that is guided by faith, integrity, and a commitment to excellence.
Sincerely,
Jarrika Coutchure, Head of School

By focusing on ensuring that each student is healthy, safe, engaged, supported, and challenged, this approach aims to nurture all aspects of a child's development. It not only addresses academic needs but also considers their physical, social, emotional, and cognitive growth.
EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING
Students are immersed in practical experiences that allow them to actively engage with the subject matter Through hands-on activities and critical analysis. This interactive approach to learning enables students to develop a deeper comprehension of the subject matter and cultivate skills that can be directly applied in a variety of contexts beyond the classroom.
CURRICULUM & STANDARDS
Our approach emphasizes the seamless integration of traditional state standards with essential life skills and problem-solving abilities. our curriculum not only meets the rigorous requirements set by state standards but also equips our students with the practical skills and critical thinking necessary to navigate real-world challenges.
