Our Mission

Believe I Can Academy (BICA) engages families and communities to encourage and enrich the lives of individuals with different abilities.  We strive to create an independent and inclusive environment to promote success in all areas, including academics, workplace skills, behavior, social-emotional, and home-based success. 

Where we started and where we are now:

Believe I Can Academy began in 2012 as a humble homeschool called “Sarah and Lilly’s Homeschool,” started in the bedroom of my (Sarah Davis) condo. What began as a deeply personal journey to provide meaningful, individualized education for my own child quickly grew as word spread and other families sought the same supportive environment for their children with special needs.

With each year, our community expanded, and new growth opportunities arose. Every move—from the condo bedroom to shared spaces, and eventually to our own dedicated facilities—has allowed us to reach more families and offer a wider range of services. As we welcomed more students, families, and dedicated staff, we developed new programs like after-school care, inclusive camps, and independent living and work skills training for adults.

Each stage of growth has strengthened our sense of community and deepened our commitment to serving individuals with special needs. What started as a small, family-driven endeavor has blossomed into a thriving non-profit organization, empowering students and their families and building a collaborative, inclusive environment where everyone can succeed.
