“It is obvious that our students are prepared to enter college, if that is the direction they choose to go”, says Laurie Laird, M.Ed. and Principal of Discovery Academy. “Executive Functioning is at the heart of our school process. Students develop the necessary cognitive skills and essentially learn how to learn.”
Discovery Academy is a competency based Clinical Boarding School. Students are required to pass each chapter with an 80% proficiency or better before they move on to the next learning concept or principle. Students are also involved in personalized therapeutic treatment plans.
Laird reiterates, “Our outcome studies prove our school works for our unique student population.”
