Is GAA right for your child?

For students who need a challenge, just not in a mainstream classroom

  • Students who thrive in a smaller class because they’re easily distracted.
  • Students who don’t test well. Understanding the material comes before heavy testing.
  • Students who get in trouble often for being talkative, busy, or misunderstood.
  • Students whose anxiety or self-esteem has shaken their confidence as learners and friends.
  • Advanced learners facing any of the above.

Early intervention is key, but it’s never too late to get the help each student needs.

What learning looks like

Grade-level lessons, taught in small groups

Each day mixes digital learning with hands-on, interactive activities based on state standards, while teachers strengthen the skills each student needs most.

Core curriculum

Daily lessons in Math, Science, Reading, Social Studies, Language Arts, and Computer Technology.

Personal education goals

Goals that help each student feel accountable for their own success and plan for what comes after.

Character education

Friendship, self-esteem, anti-bullying, social-emotional learning, and a positive attitude, built into every week.
