Halstrom Academy

My son is very happy since he started Halstorm academy. He came from public school and was so upset at their constant doubts of his abilities. Also, he felt he did not fit-​in the public high school.
Since starting, he is so much happier and loves his teachers. He keeps saying how they are great teachers that actually «teach». The environment is very supportive and great for each child’s confidence, especially if you have a learning difference.
We are so pleased, and he is a lot less stressed out, as he gets most of his work done at school. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend this school as a terrific alternative, if your child is having difficulties in public school.

I am thrilled to have an alternative educational opportunity for my son. As a public school teacher, I am well aware of the limitations public school environments provide to students who have special needs. My son was identified as gifted and flourished in elementary school. However, upon entering middle school, he struggled and even with an IEP, was not provided the appropriate support he needed. He wasn’t passing and he was suffering from severe anxiety. We realized that the large public school environment did not provide him with an adequate opportunity to reach his full potential. So we sought out a smaller more individualized educational program and found Halstrom. Unlike the public school environment, he now gets one-​on-​one personalized attention focused and geared towards his own individualized needs. He meets with each of his teachers twice a week and is doing amazing both academically and emotionally. We could not have gotten this much individualized support for our son in a public high school with a population of over 3000 students. If your child is struggling in the public school environment and has potential to do well, you should explore Halstrom.

I am very happy with Halstrom Academy. I think the teachers go over and beyond. My child is getting personal attention here he has never received before. I’m so happy to have found an alternative to our public school.
