The Gossip About Rockford Academy

Katie Carten

"My daughter has been involved with Rockford Academy for nearly 9 years and LOVES IT! It is a GREAT outlet for a 13 year old, and an amazing way to build her strength, learn discipline, and have fun! Master An & Matt & the entire staff are fantastic!"

Jessica Gerrity

Parent

"I HIGHLY recommend this academy. Master An is very kind, very informative and very caring. We have been with them for almost a year. I love the fact that family is very important to them. They involve the whole family. We signed my son up and we saw noticeable changes in his behavior, self esteem and his confidence in a short time"

Jessica Lang

"We are so glad to be apart of Rockford Academy! When the pandemic started we wanted to find a activity for our daughter that would give her something to look forward to and keep her busy. We found that and so much more with Rockford Academy!"
