CEO & Founder - Jimmy Arispe

Jimmy Arispe founded The Academy Way Network of Schools in 2020 and serves at the CEO. He founded these schools as a result of him realizing that there was a tremendous definciency in the number of quality schools that could serve children with Dyslexia. 

Jimmy has over 2 decades of experience leading kid-serving organizations. He has worked with students, teachers and schools in some of the most educationally and economically desperate areas of our country, to include many Native American reservations. 

After starting his kid career as an elementary school teacher, Jimmy went on to hold many of the traditional leadership roles such as principal and superintendent. 

JImmy created his first school, The SAE School, in 2013. After leading it for 8 years, he left that school in 2020 to create The Academy Way Network of Schools. To date and over the last 11 years, JImmy has created 5 schools (1 Virtual School and 4 physical campuses) that are all amazingly loving, challenging and joyful places for children to learn.

When not in one of his schools, Jimmy enjoys spending as much time as possible with his wife, son, and doggie.
