Searching For K-12 Schools For Your Twice-Exceptional Student? We Can Help.

We’re A Double Accredited Private School For Gifted Students

Public school doesn’t always cater to everyone, and it’s often the students with twice exceptionalities (giftedness and ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, etc.) who are left behind.

It is for these children that Dr. Laura Lowder established Scholars Academy for the Gifted, a private school for gifted students. Double accredited by Accreditation International (Ai) and the National Council for Private School Accreditation (NCPSA), our school’s mission is to encourage gifted students of all kinds to grow at their own pace.

The Scholars Academy Difference

Scholars Academy’s curriculum is specially designed to accommodate each student’s strengths and growth opportunities. Children are free to explore different topics and challenge themselves by pursuing subjects that traditional schools might consider far above the traditional grade level.

The teachers at Scholars Academy have extensive experience teaching gifted and twice exceptional students and understand how to develop individualized curriculum to meet each student’s needs. More information on the ideas and practices our teachers are implementing can be found on our teacher-written blog, Empowering Tidbits.

We are well-equiped to assist children experiencing asynchronous development, meaning different parts of their brains are developing at different speeds. For children who may excel in math but struggle to read (or vice versa), or children who exceed academically but lack social skills expected for their age level, our learning approach meets students on their own terms.

Two Distinct Learning Opportunities For Gifted Students

● Virtual Gifted Academy: Provides K-12 education to gifted students around the world.

● Scholars Academy for Pre-Professional Dancers: Provides flexible education for students studying at the pre-professional ballet pre-pro training programs around the world.
