The Academy Experience
At The Academy NJ, we believe that the best way to know if our school will be a good fit is to experience it firsthand. For that reason, we are offering three separate, week-long sessions in May for prospective students to join us at school.
During the week, prospective students will have the opportunity to move through each day as if they were already enrolled. They will be given a daily schedule, be grouped for instruction alongside our current students and participate in enrichment activities each day.
Fill out our Contact Form by selecting the button below and indicate which week in May you would like your child to attend. There is no cost to attend the Academy Experience. We look forward to having your son/daughter join us for their Academy Experience.
The cost for this is zero, ziltch, nada!
Summer Session
Non-enrolled students can join our current students for our Summer Session on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, 8:30am - 1:30pm from July 11th - August 31st.
Summertime is notorious for causing a learning gap in students. This is especially true for students with dyslexia and other language based learning disabilities. Pausing instruction for two months is detrimental to the progress students have made during the school year. Don’t let this happen to your child!
Your child will be provided daily with structured literacy and multisensory math instruction for 50 minutes each in a small group or 1:1 setting. He/she will also engage in enriching activities such as Robotics, Art, and Fossil Hunting on the trails behind our building. In addition, students will have the opportunity to create meaningful relationships with like-minded peers.
The cost is $1,950. Join us now!

We support our students' growth and development by allowing them to progress at their own pace. Each student is a unique individual with specific strengths and weaknesses. It is unrealistic to expect all students to achieve academic benchmarks at the same age. We assess our students when they enter our school and this dictates where we start with them with regard to the instruction they receive.
We provide progress monitoring continuously throughout the year. Parents are provided with weekly feedback in the form of GREATNESS Reports.

Having a comfortable and flexible learning environment is very important at our school. It is very difficult for students to learn when they are uncomfortable. Why would we create an environment that makes learning harder? We have a variety of seating options for students to use throughout the school day. Students can sit on wobble stools while working at a table, sit on the floor while working on a clipboard, or stand up if that helps them to focus.
We want our kids to enjoy coming to school, be comfortable while they are learning, and understand that we each have our own individual preferences . . . and that’s okay.
Individual Attention

Individual Attention
We believe providing our students with individual attention is important to their ultimate academic success. All of our students receive 1:1 attention at some point during each school day. Our Structured Literacy groups are limited to no more than 3 students and in our other academic classes/groups there are 5 or fewer students. Overall, we have a teacher:student ratio of 1:4.
