You will be a part of an innovative and creative educational environment, where you will have the small class sizes (6-10 students) needed to promote individualized and strengths based learning. Classes are mixed age and grade focusing on educating the whole student, including academic, social, and emotional growth. Students come to us with diagnoses such as ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder), ADHD, Anxiety, and a wide range of learning disabilities including executive functioning challenges. Additionally, many of our students are identified as Twice Exceptional (2E), where they present with areas of great strength and co-occurring areas of weakness, which can make it challenging to consistently tap into those strength areas.
