Tuition Assistance

Here at The Academy, we define ourselves by what a great fit we are for students and their families.  To be a teenager with a learning disability, facing the prospect of another year at a school that isn’t a good fit, is a very tough situation.  I invite you to contact me to discuss what we can do for you and your teen.

I would also like to remind you that the fee-payment policy at The Academy fits the spirit of fee-paying at the YMCA: we absolutely make it possible for mission-appropriate students to attend our school. We will not turn away any student who is a great fit on financial grounds. You have my promise on this.

Don Adams – Head of School
