1. ASOP provides personalized instruction:

  • intensive personalized instruction that allows students to progress at their own pace 

  • a student-to-teacher ratio of 7:1

  • flexibility to change a studentโ€™s class schedule as needed.


โ€Our daughter struggled in public high school before she completely gave up on learning. At ASOP she is discovering that she really can learn. The small class size, one-on-one attention and tailoring of her education to her needs and ability are the difference.โ€ โ€”Elizabeth, ASOP parent



2. ASOP teaches executive function skills:

  • strict accountability for classwork completion

  • realistic homework expectations

  • daily report cards that allow students and parents to monitor academics and behavior

  • a reward management system.


โ€œOur son had a challenging 2 1/2 years in the public school system. He rarely made it through the school day and was failing most of his classes. He has been attending ASOP for 7 months now and is flourishing. His grades have greatly improved and, most importantly, he loves going to school each day!โ€ โ€”Lee, ASOP parent

 
 


3. ASOP prioritizes social-emotional learning:

  • one-on-one Mental Health Counselor visits

  • the Pathways program, which allows students to explore mental health topics in small groups

  • a Therapy Dog program, with two certified, staff dogs

  • opportunities for students to socialize, including Friday activity clubs, field trips and more.


โ€œOur daughter has found a place where she can be herself and thrive. She is enjoying school for the first time since kindergarten! Her self-confidence has grown, she is engaged in learning, and she has made meaningful friendships.โ€ โ€”Anna, ASOP parent
