Kindergarten through Grade 5

LOWER SCHOOL

In Lower School at Children’s Academy, students build the foundation that everything else rests on: confident communication, a love of reading, joy in learning, and friendships that last.

We believe in the potential of every Children’s Academy student – and our integrated academic-therapeutic program keeps students challenged and progressing.

Integrated staffing model ensures every classroom is staffed by a licensed teacher, a teaching assistant, and a dedicated Speech-Language Pathologist, so therapy and academics happen together, all day.
Skill-based grouping with a 6:2:1 ratio for academic subjects means every child is met where they are and given the time, support, and encouragement to grow into a curious, confident learner.
Science of reading curriculum grounds reading instruction through iReady and Magnetic Reading, math through HMH Into Math, and occupational therapy woven into every student’s day.

Grade 6 through 8

MIDDLE SCHOOL

Middle School is a time of transformation. Our program supports students as they grow intellectually, socially, and emotionally, building on the integrated model from Lower School.

Social Thinking gives students a shared vocabulary for navigating social situations and communicating with confidence.
Critical thinking and academic rigor are built into every subject through evidence-based instruction and skill-based grouping.
Self-advocacy helps students understand their learning profiles and arrive at high school ready.

Grade 9 through 12

UPPER SCHOOL

Upper School is where years of work come into focus. Students earn high school credits that can be transferred to other schools, building a strong academic foundation as they prepare for life beyond graduation.

Independence and self-direction are at the center of Upper School life, with students taking increasing ownership of their learning and goals.
Transition planning prepares every student for life after graduation, whether college, vocational training, or supported independence.
Transferable high school credits give students a recognized academic pathway, with rigorous coursework designed to transfer smoothly to their next school.
