Welcome to Dad's Academy

Dad's Academy is your school away from school. Don't groan and roll your eyes. You will find that we cover all kinds of subjects. The goal is to make you use your noodle. Most classes take between 5 and 15 minutes (if your not distracted by your friend's texts).
Once you complete a lesson in Dad's Academy you qualify to enjoy some free time (with your phone, iTouch, Wii or good old fashioned brain numbing TV).
