As educators, it is our job to create learning and opportunity in order to prepare our students for the world outside of AchieveKids and enable them to thrive. Each of our students is unique, and each faces a variety of complex challenges along the way. We do not have one definition of success except that our students are engaged, having fun, and are consistently learning. We are committed to our students’ belief in themselves, to their success, and to their lifelong learning.

The principles of Learning for Life are the driving force guiding our programs. In this spirit, we work with each student to create self-Awareness, to nurture the Ability to learn, to develop a sense of self-Advocacy, and to enhance their Agility and flexibility. We accomplish our goals within small learning communities that provide extensive, multi-disciplinary support services and individualized education.
