History Established in 1985. Futures Academy (formerly Halstrom Academy) was founded in 1985 by Dr. Karen Bishop, a teacher who saw the need for an alternative to growing class sizes in public schools. She developed 1:1 individualized instruction with a quality curriculum to help all types of students (athletes, actors, ADHD, social anxiety) excel inside and outside of the classroom.

Notable alumni include Blake Lively (actress), Sasha Cohen (Olympic skater), Ryan Scheckler (Pro skateboarder and MTV reality star), Andy Zhang (youngest golfer to participate in the US Open) and many more.
