We currently serve both the general and special education population.  Whether it is accelerated, grade level, or remediated instruction required, our services include the ability to instruct ALL students. Our students who require an accelerated or gifted and talented environment have the opportunity to attend classes at a higher grade level, 

including dual credit college-level classes through North Lake College, while still experiencing age-level peer interaction.  We also serve students who have been diagnosed with ADD/ ADHD, Anxiety, Asperger’s syndrome, dyslexia, and other reading and math disorders. 

 

Our teachers are ACSI and/or state certified regular education, including Honors, AP, IB, and GT certified teachers.  We also have licensed special education teachers and specialists depending on the classroom needs of each student.  Our teachers are licensed through the state of Texas and/or ACSI, which is the licensing for teachers who teach in a private, Christian school setting and we have two state licensed Academic Language Therapists (C-ALT).
