“I can’t say enough about what a wonderful place ASOP has been for our son this year. Your website says “within these walls lies hope” and that has been so true for us! We are so grateful for the care, discipline and connection you’ve shown him.” —Margaret, ASOP parent

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 student’s class schedule as needed.

”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.” —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.

“Our 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!” —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.

“Our 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.” —Anna, ASOP parent
