Atlas Academy Program Level Descriptions
At Atlas Academy we believe in providing all the services a student needs first and then as they are successful teaching them how to be successful more and more independently. In order to do that students are placed within the program level that has the amount of support they are in need of at that time and consider adjustments each year.
Early Learning
Our Early Learning centers serve students between the ages of 2 and 5 years old. Using ongoing assessment systems including both anecdotal and running records, students are assessed for baseline understanding and our highly qualified staff create lessons and goals focused on school readiness success. We strive to provide an environment in which each child and their family is loved and cared for as if they were our own.
Phase 1
This first program level for Kindergarten through 12th grade is focused on providing a Fresh Start for students who have significant behavioral challenges within the school setting. At phase 1 increased adult support is in place and intensive interventions are utilized to support all students. Our dedicated teachers and staff are committed to working on both behavioral goals as well as academic goals that are individualized based on each student's need. Baseline data is collected for each student to determine what functions motivate and maintain student problem behaviors. Students are not sent home or suspended for the behaviors, but instead we work towards teaching students replacement behaviors in order to reshape students' responses and learning history. All of these strategies combined are intentional in ensuring students feel they have a Fresh Start on the Atlas Academy campus and can be successful in an educational environment.
Phase 2
Phase 2 is the second level of the Atlas Academy program for Kindergarten through 12th grade. This phase is a School of Thought focused on the understanding that as students reshape behavioral responses and are becoming more successful with managing their behavior they must be able to utilize what they have learned with progressively decreasing levels of support. At phase 2 students who have successfully met behavioral criteria from phase 1 will transition to phase 2 with students who do not face behavioral challenges. Classroom sizes remain small and there continues to be additional support in classrooms, but students are much more independent with the focus shifting even more so towards filling in academic gaps. We continue to work on reaching academic goals. We believe implementing this School of Thought will set our Atlas Academy students up for long term academic success.
