All Children Academics

All Children Academics is a Private School focused on children with academic and social learning differences.

Students who benefit from our whole child approach are students who show needs in one or more of the areas below. Some of these areas will be strengths for our students with- no needs at all.  Some students will have existing IEP’s in the school district, while some will not have needs great enough to qualify for an IEP.

We educate students with academic and social learning differences, as well as student’s diagnosed with anxiety, ADHD, ADD, high functioning Autism, PANDAS, Sensory Processing Disorder, Auditory Processing Disorder, Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, and Dyscalculia.
