Mission Statement
South Florida Academy is an individualized inclusion school that provides equal opportunity for all students to focus on their positive strengths and achievements that facilitate individual strengths and goals. Students pursue different levels of learning and become creative, imaginative thinkers, actively involved in academic and social activities. Children enjoy greater self-esteem, confidence, and pride in their accomplishments.
About This Cause
South Florida Academy of Learning is a very unique, fully inclusive school which understands that all children with special needs and typical children alike deserve special care and attention to help them gain confidence and realize their full potential. We work closely with parents to address their children’s different abilities and unique way of learning in a positive and nurturing environment. Children are taught to be creative, imaginative thinkers, leaders, actively involved in academic and social activities that build self-confidence, self-esteem, learn self-motivation, and pride in their heritage. An individualized curriculum is developed and administered for all students at South Florida Academy. We recognize the fact that every student learns at a different pace and through different learning styles. This also applies to the typical children who attend South Florida Academy. To enhance meaningful learning, our curriculum includes art, music, computers, and physical education. Our groundbreaking approach in dealing with each child as a unique case has changed the lives of so many children. South Florida Academy of Learning is home to the first Spacecraft Sensory Suite in North America. A sensory suite is designed to encourage interaction via switches or the touch of a hand. The equipment can be used for calming sessions, sensory diet, or interaction depending on the individual needs of the child. We are extremely happy with the progress our children have made since the implementation of the sensory suite into their daily school schedule. Our school has filled a serious void in the tri-county area. Students in grades K-12 with mild to moderate learning disabilities, including ADD, Aspergers, Autism, auditory processing disorders, Downs Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy and other special needs are taught by teachers who are certified in special education, in classrooms with low teacher to student ratios. In addition, there is a full support system of speech and occupational therapists, special education coaches, social groups, sensory integration therapies and involved parents.
