About The Chmura Academy

Welcome to The Chmura Academy, where imagination meets education in a delightful blend of creativity and fun! You could say we’re one of the most prestigious, award-winning make-believe schools in the United States—though our accolades might only be visible to the most imaginative minds.


At The Chmura Academy, we believe that learning should be as enjoyable as it is enriching. Our “students” embark on whimsical journeys through classrooms filled with laughter, discovery, and the kind of adventure that only a fictitious K-12 school that exists for the purpose of demonstrating Rediker Software capabilities can offer.


Whether you're exploring the wonders of history, diving into the depths of science, or crafting a masterpiece in art, we guarantee that every day at The Chmura Academy is an extraordinary experience.


Join us as we inspire creativity and foster a love for K-12 excellence.

Our Vision

In 1965, a group of Hampden parents took action after they recognized the need for an independent day school in the area. Our school was soon born as a private school for grades six through twelve.


Guided by a focus on personal achievement and pride of heritage, we quickly gained a reputation as a stellar academic institution. Now, we are fortunate to have fifty full-time teachers and over 400 students. As we grow, we make sure to uphold our original desire to teach and profess a high education.



We are happy to have a full, independent school that provides a happy and loving space for students to learn in. While our school may be broadening our horizons, we are keeping our core values the same. The amount of attention we give to each individual student is our most important goal.
