Mill St., Lewisville.  Parking for classes will be at the front of the building, off Mill St., near the church sign and first building (Student Building).  Look for the tall blue "WELCOME" flag and the THRIVE Academy signs pointing to the east entrance door.  Doors open 30 minutes prior to the start of the class.  For security reasons, they remained locked after classes begin.

YES, THRIVE Academy is open to all adults age 16 and up.  NO, there is no agency qualification guidelines.  Obviously, you have to be at a point and time to be able to attend, understand, and complete the course. We want to help you succeed!


NO, for now, there are people that have donated funds to help you and to make it affordable for anyone.  However, there will be times where you may have to purchase books, materials, or pay fees for special purposes.  You will know these costs ahead of time.  Part of what you will be learning is Financial Management, so we will help you be prepared for these costs.
