Welcome to Allen

Dear Allen Academy Families and Friends,
​
Welcome to Allen Academy—a place where every student, every family, and every moment matters. Whether you are a long-time member of our community, new to our school, or exploring Allen as a future home for your child, we are grateful for your interest in and connection to this extraordinary community.Allen Academy is more than a school. It is a community bound by shared purpose and a deep commitment to helping students grow into their fullest potential. Here, curiosity is encouraged, effort is celebrated, and character is cultivated. Our classrooms, fields, and stages are places where students learn not only what they can do, but who they can become.
​
Our mission guides every part of that journey: Through excellence in academics, athletics, and the arts, and an emphasis on character, Allen Academy empowers students to lead lives of purpose and impact. This mission reflects both our heritage and our vision for the future. A mission that calls us to nurture excellence, build strong relationships, and inspire lifelong learners.
​
At the heart of our community are the four core values that define the Allen experience:

• Excellence – Striving for our personal best in all areas of learning and growth.
• Integrity – Doing what is right, even when no one is watching.
• Community – Supporting, uplifting, and celebrating one another in all that we do.
• Adaptability – Meeting life’s changes with creativity, courage, and determination.

These values unite us all as one Allen family. Together, we create an environment where students are challenged to achieve, supported to succeed, and inspired to lead lives of purpose and impact.
​
To our current families, thank you for your continued trust and partnership. To our new families, welcome to the Allen community. You are now part of a tradition of excellence that stretches back more than a century. And to those considering Allen for your child’s educational journey, we invite you to experience firsthand the warmth, connection, and purpose that define who we are.
​
Together, let’s continue to build a school where excellence thrives, integrity guides, community strengthens, and adaptability inspires.
