Andrew Smith | Director

Welcome to the Renaissance Academy and the 2020-2021 school year! I am excited to be a part of this great school as the new Director. The Renaissance Academy is an outstanding school with great opportunities for students to embark on unique learning experiences.

We offer a non-traditional style of learning based around project-based learning, or PBL for short. If you like hands-on learning, this may be the perfect opportunity for you! Our faculty receive specific training to model their teaching style to put you in charge of your learning. In addition, we offer multiple dual-credit opportunities so that you can earn your college credits here at RA through both Ivy Tech Community College and Indiana University. This costs you nothing and it can give you a head start on your college degree in whatever field you decide to pursue. You also have the opportunity to pursue a trade through the Prosser Career Education Center. 

As a part of Clarksville Community Schools, we work closely with Clarksville High School to offer many other opportunities, including foreign languages and fine arts as well as the entire spectrum of extracurricular activities. We highly encourage our students to be involved in as many of these activities as possible. 

As we begin this new year, we enter it with many unknowns and embark on an atypical educational journey. Just know that we will be here for you and will help you achieve your goals no matter what obstacles we may face along the way. 

I am available by phone or email if you ever have any questions or concerns. We are here for you! 

Sincerely,

Mr. Andrew Smith

Director
