Student-Centered Approach

Student Life at the Academy at SOAR includes the total wellness of every student.

That’s why many of our SOAR students choose to continue communication with their ongoing therapists and/or psychologists as the school year allows.

The Academy at SOAR Team works to include parents, educational consultants, and therapists in the progress students are making throughout the school year and will send students home with an Achievement report.
