Academics & Methodology
We believe our students are exceptional and that each one possesses natural gifts and talents that can be nurtured while supporting any learning differences.
Customized Learning for Individual Needs
After accepting a student to the Academy, we use diagnostic testing to evaluate the individual’s strengths and weakness so we can develop a curriculum customized to his or her needs. Our low student-to-teacher ratios allow our teachers the flexibility to support each student’s individual learning style in these plans.

Academic Skills + Life Skills
Through our educational programs, we aim to build our students’ confidence and self-esteem while strengthening their learning skills so they can achieve personal success wherever they go.
Our middle and high school programs offer fully-accredited national curricula. State regulations require a minimum of 4.5 hours of daily instruction in reading, language arts, math, social studies and science; however, at the Academy we exceed the standard by offering instruction daily from 8:15 am to 3:15 pm in all major subject areas. We balance our individualized learning environment with a combination of traditional classroom instruction. We offer extracurricular courses such as keyboarding, yoga, music club, art, and cooking club.
