Academics

The Academy at SOAR is an ADHD school that also serves students with other learning disabilities through adventure-based learning. We recognize that each student has unique abilities, experiences, needs and individual learning styles. Providing each student with differentiated instruction allows us to customize the learning environment and deliver academic instruction in a way that meets the individual needs and abilities of each student. For example, if your child is an auditory learner, information will be presented verbally, whereas visual learners are provided with primarily written components.

Many students have experienced difficulty in a traditional academic setting, stemming from a variety of factors including but not limited to, ADHD, other Learning Disabilities, negative feedback from peers or teachers, inability to self-advocate, peer influences, and poor academic performance. We seek to modify the student’s perception of him or herself as a student through differentiated instruction, allowing them to become aware of their unique strengths, abilities, and challenges, along with techniques to overcome academic hurdles.

The Academy at SOAR is accredited by Cognia, the accrediting body for charter schools, independent schools, and public school systems. Upon completion, your child will receive a high school diploma. Should your child complete one or multiple semesters, they will receive full academic credit for the courses they complete. Prior to attending the Academy at SOAR, we will carefully examine your child’s academic progress with you and his or her educators to determine the appropriate course load for each student based on their academic needs.
