How It Works
Learning is hard work, and our students are prepared for an uncertain world before them. All our students are given the attention and guidance they need to exceed their goals in the following ways:
Learning Plans
Our students are equipped with Learning Plans that outline strengths, weaknesses, strategies for success, accessibility needs, and plans for growth, which are woven directly into the curriculum they participate in.
Principal’s List
Students who excel in The Study Academy’s four cardinal values (Scholarship, Achievement, Curiosity, and Collaboration) are recognized on the Principal’s List—our annual achievement program.
