About Us

About Balfour Academy

At Balfour Academy we create a family atmosphere of mutual support and trust.

Positive reinforcement is used to encourage behaviors that contribute to individual growth, while problems are dealt with immediately as they arise. Our summer courses are designed to increase motivations as well as to develop basics skills.

Leadership and athletic skills are developed in the afternoon sports program. Field trips serve as an enjoyable reward for working and as a time for the entire student body and faculty bond.

In all our activities we seek to fulfill our motto, “Striving for Excellence.”

Create Impact

Fullscreen sections are great for items that need some impact. Do you have a "call to action" that needs to work better, or, perhaps a news item that can't be missed. Well, put these into a fullscreen section and you're ready to go.

Easy navigation

It's very easy to set up navigation for a fullscreen website. Give each section a unique name and call that name with a #. You can use icons, buttons, images, and text for these links. Even the main menu is a possible option for triggering the smooth scrolling navigation.

Background Options

There are several options if you want to spice up your fullscreen design. You can work with a single color or an image if you just want a static solution. If you want a bit of movement, you can choose between a parallax image, a slideshow or even a looping video.
