About Us:
Located in the heart of Lincoln Center-NYC, Academics West is a high-support college preparatory program that services up to 80 students from kindergarten through 12th grade who exhibit social emotional challenges and/or learning differences. Our small student-to-teacher ratio (typically 5:1:1 but can be slightly higher) allows us to work more intensively with students, achieving positive outcomes. Clinically Informed Academics (CIA) is an approach infused throughout the curriculum that considers the whole student to formulate effective individualized learning strategies. This approach combines clinical knowledge with academic interventions to help students improve beyond what traditional methods can achieve.
Academics West is an independent high-support college preparatory program that provides customized educational and social-emotional support for students who need an intimate and nurturing environment. Unlike conventional education, this innovative model enables students to prepare for an ever-changing world that requires young people to have advanced executive functioning, interpersonal and leadership skills. At Academics West we engage students to become independent, resilient, and self-valuing adults. Most importantly, we encourage our students to become heroes of their own story.
