Parker Academy

Parker Academy provides a specialized educational environment for students in grades 6-12 who may have struggled in traditional school settings. Designed for students with learning differences, emotional needs, or artistic passions, the Academy offers a highly personalized approach. The school is ideal for students who have experienced frustration or disengagement in standard classrooms and are seeking a more supportive, adaptive, and challenging academic atmosphere.

The Academy utilizes a unique, holistic version of Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). Unlike traditional academic-only plans, Parker Academy's individualized programs integrate academic and emotional goals with physical fitness, community service, family values, and artistic or musical interests. With an exceptionally small average class size of 4 and a faculty where 99% hold advanced degrees, students receive intensive, specialized instruction and therapeutic support tailored to their specific developmental needs.

Parker Academy emphasizes a family-centered model, where parents are encouraged—and often required—to take an active role in designing and implementing their child's educational program. This collaborative approach ensures that the student's social, recreational, and academic growth is aligned with their home environment. The school operates on a rolling admissions basis and offers summer school opportunities for continued engagement.
