Thank You

Having teachers and staff that actually cared about me and challenged me to set and achieve goals made all the difference. I was lost, they helped me find my real self.

Positive Impact

As soon as Malachi started at Park we began to see positive changes in him, his confidence began to grow.  For the first time, he actually like going to school. His academic and reading performance greatly improved after just one year. Park helped him recognize his potential by highlighting his strengths and encouraging him to keep trying.

Who We Serve

Park Academy offers a unique high school experience for students in grades 9-12 whose learning styles are not complemented by a traditional academic setting. Our students are highly capable, but may struggle with:

  • Executive Functioning / Organization
  • Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD)
  • Dyslexia / Language Processing Difficulties
  • Memory Processing and Processing Speed Difficulties

Our Approach

We are dedicated to providing a safe and supportive atmosphere for all students. In a recent parent survey, 100% of parents felt that Park Academy offered a safe learning environment for their child. Our low student-to-teacher ratios allow us to create a family-like environment among students, which, in turn, creates a supportive student network between peers.

Core classes are designed with dedicated staff working with small class sizes, allowing students to explore their unique learning styles and discover their strengths. Assistive technology is integrated throughout the high school curriculum, along with other necessary accommodations that support learning, growth, and measures of proficiency. Typical assistive technologies used in the high school classrooms include:

  • Google Chromebooks
  • Google Classroom
  • Audiobooks and dictation software
  • Online Gradebook

Park Academy also believes that enrichment in education is critical to a well-rounded education for our students. Our elective courses are designed to empower students and engage them in creative expression, student collaboration, and critical thinking. Enrichment classes include:

  • Fine Arts
  • Culinary Arts
  • Robotics
  • Music
  • Theater
  • Videography
  • Leadership
  • Careers

With a 100% graduation rate, Park Academy is proud to help guide students in their transition out of high school and into their next stage in life. We offer post-secondary education placement support through the support of our School Counselor.
