Admissions Update
However you discovered Children’s Academy, Welcome. We here at CA know that searching for a school for your child can be both exciting and terrifying: ‘Will this school accept my child?’ ‘Will they meet their needs?’ ‘Will they care for my child?’ The last thing we want at CA is for the admission process to be cold or impersonal. We understand the love, hope, and concerns you have for your child. Whether Children’s Academy is ultimately the best fit for your loved one, our admissions staff will be able to provide guidance and feedback.
Children’s Academy students’ education and healthy development begins during the admissions process. This is a time for us both to get to know each other. If you feel that your child is a capable, resilient, group learner who needs additional therapeutic support services, please fill out an application. We cannot wait to meet you.
All the Best,
Assistant Head of School & Director of Admissions
