I am the parent of a child with autism. I am well aware of the difficulties in finding schools that have the tools to properly educate special needs children.  Finding those who are compassionate and who have the background to care for our children can often be a challenge.

The Bachman Academy

Is a school for students who are diagnosed with learning differences. They educate boarding and day students in 6th-12th grade. These students are diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, Dyslexia, Asperger’s Syndrome, and other Non-verbal learning differences. The academy’s mission is to empower students to develop the skills and values necessary for success in a global society.

At Bachman Academy, the curriculum includes a research-based, multi-sensory approach. That’s individual and provides middle and high school students the opportunity to learn in a nurturing and safe environment.
