Kinship Academy

Kinship Academy is a CDE Certified Non-Public school that serves unique, high-functioning individuals with great abilities, who are unable to realize their full potential in a traditional school environment. We recognize and meet the challenges of teaching these children by providing individualized accommodations, focus, and support to help them learn, thrive, and become successful.

Kinship Academy is a nurturing learning environment that engages the whole child academically, socially, emotionally, physically and intellectually. The curriculum responds to individual student learning needs by offering a variety of educational approaches: using children’s natural interests to build strengths and remediate weaknesses. The focus is on building a solid personal foundation of knowledge and skills and a love of learning. We use the zones of regulation model for social-emotional development, and the Michelle Garcia Winner approach of Social Thinking. We provide many services including speech and language, counseling, occupational therapy, and music therapy.

Kinship Academy strives to provide strength-based, individualized education to students in grades K-12 struggling with mild to moderate disabilities such as:
– Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) including High-Functioning Autism (HFA), Asperger’s Syndrome (AS), and Non-Verbal Learning Disorder (NLD)
– Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
– Emotional Regulation
– Learning Disabilities
