The Academic Foundations Program includes a weekly, one-on-one session aimed at establishing core language, literacy, and academic skills that are critical to educational success. In addition to this direct support, the Academic Foundations Program incorporates collaboration with parents and teachers to encourage the practice and use of learned skills at home and school. 

Our work with students is grounded in a collaborative and mindful approach that honors each student’s holistic learning profile while recognizing and building upon the strengths, capacities, and wholeness they already bring as learners. We are a neurodiversity affirming practice and celebrate the neurocomplexity of our students while supporting their areas of challenge toward growth and a deepening sense of self-awareness and authenticity. While many of our students may have a “formal” diagnosis of ADHD, Autism, dyslexia, giftedness, or various learning disabilities and/or differences, we do not require testing or evaluation in order to access support. This is a safe and welcoming environment for students of all backgrounds.
