Apogee NKY was born out of frustration — and hope. Founder Matthew Hammer, striving to be the best husband and father, saw the damage of passive, one-size-fits-all schooling. He knew his family needed something more: purpose, strength, and connection beyond anything currently offered.

So he and his wife Michelle created a place where children could be challenged, not boxed in — where families grow together, and community means something. Apogee NKY isn’t a copy of public school — it’s a new path entirely.
