7:1

student-to-teacher ratio

ASOP’s low student-teacher ratio, compared to the national average of 15:1, allows us to provide a personalized curriculum while also focusing on building positive relationships.

 

Who We Serve

The reasons for enrollment are as diverse as the students themselves:

  • Gifted: needing a more challenging curriculum

  • Average: needing motivation to do more than just get by

  • Learning Challenged: needing a different approach to instruction.

A priority for ASOP is supporting students with emotional, social, and mental health concerns.
