Our Purpose

The Plaza Academy provides a college preparatory education to teenagers who do not thrive, have failed in school or have become unhappy or apathetic. We provide services to the entire family, particularly the parents of our students who have endured their teens dissatisfaction in their previous schools.

The Plaza Academy is a private high school for students whose needs are not met in their previous schools.

We serve the needs of (1) gifted and talented students who have developmentally advanced beyond their peers and whom require an adult academic and social environment, (2) students with learning disabilities or deficits who require specially designed curriculum components and daily individual attention, (3) teenagers who are not successful and fulfilled in their previous schools even though they have great potential.

We provide a high school in which parents and teenagers work together to achieve academic, social, and familial success.

We help teenagers gain a better understanding of their roles in their family and community.

Our therapeutic curriculum teaches teenagers to manage themselves rather than rely on others to manage them.

Our academic curriculum and delivery system provides teenagers with tutorial support until they achieve mastery over the subject matter.

We provide an academic environment that encourages critical and creative thinking through verbal discourse and discursive prose.

We seek to educate teenagers at or above the twelfth-grade skill level in all academic areas.

We provide curricula that prepare teenagers for university life.

We prepare teenagers for college and other post-high school environments.
