Clave Academy was founded by Dr. Shelly Wendt and her husband with a vision to create a warm, relationship-centered learning environment where students are truly known, valued, and challenged.
After years of experience in education and educational leadership, the Wendt family saw the growing need for a learning environment that combines strong academics, meaningful relationships, bilingual opportunities, and individualized learning experiences for every child.
