Cornerstones of Our Academic Program

  • We take an individualized approach to learning, and create custom learning paths for every child.
  • Our education program is comprehensive in nature: Continuous, structured activities guide learning and social interactions throughout the entire day and evening hours.
  • Each student is assigned both an academic and personal mentor, in keeping with our mission of constant support and growth of the complete person.
  • Class sizes are small – typically between 5 to 8 students – ensuring targeted help and interventions.
  • A staff psychologist, speech pathologist and after-hours tutors compliment a staff of supportive, highly trained teaching professionals.
  • Secure Internet portals provide parents around-the-clock access to their children. Parents may check on student progress, grades, lessons and assignments – and remain reassured their child is on the right track, even from a remote distance.
  • New and innovative educational programs include Fast ForWord, Spell Read, Polk State College Dual Enrollment, Ridge Technical Center Dual Enrollment, APEX Learning, Power Speak and internships or career shadowing.
