Small Class/School Size
Each Academy strives to maintain small class sizes and a low student to teacher ratio. Small classes allow for personalized attention and enhances a staff’s familiarity of students’ educational and family needs.
Students at each Academy receive at least two hours of reading each day and 90 minutes of Math. Additionally, each Academy employs an extended school day. Daily homework reinforcing the day’s lessons is also required.

Ongoing Assessment
In addition to all required state achievement, diagnostic, and proficiency tests, each Academy administers a fall and spring pre- and post- test, as well as curriculum-based measures in the classroom.
