School Notes

Our safe environment and individualized approach allow our talented students to remediate their particular challenge and become their own self-advocate as they advance into college. We strive to provide each child with the self-awareness and confidence necessary to attempt and succeed at difficult tasks. Students are of average to above average intelligence but may require a smaller classroom setting and multi-sensory instructional techniques to overcome language or math challenges, attention deficits or dyslexia. We celebrate the success of our students as we achieve a 100% graduation rate, with most moving on to the college of their choice. Our accredited program proudly accepts the State of Florida John McKay Scholarship.
