Academic Approach at LHA
Lake House Academy provides a seamless academic transition from the student’s current school to a comprehensively designed Individual Academic Plan at Lake House to a thorough academic report with recommendations to the school that the student will transition into.
The student, her parents, referral sources and the student's teachers are contacted once the student arrives in order to complete their Individual Academic Plan. Classroom observations of behaviors and work by teacher and therapists by using product and assessment tools are combined with aforementioned input to create an accurate and successful plan for each student. Curriculum from the student’s school is requested prior to or upon admission in order that we keep the student current on instructional content covered at the next step in her academic path while living and learning at Lake House Academy.
Classes at Lake House Academy, taught by certified teachers, are small and intimate, building study skills, teaching grade level content, improving self-advocacy and resiliency. The outcome is a self-assured young lady who has found her voice and a manner of expression that she carries with her through her life. If a student is struggling in school, the teachers at Lake House Academy espouse the following creed: What can I, the teacher, do differently to meet the needs of all my students. A student with learning differences is tutored, teaching strategies that will carry her through grade level curriculum.
The academic team consists of 4 teachers and an Academic Director that oversees the team as well as being involved in the academic progress of each student while they are at Lake House Academy.
The Academic Team works very closely with the Clinical Team regarding each students progress and creating individualized academic and treatment plans for each student.
The students of Lake House Academy are engaged in a personal fitness plan that includes hygiene, healthy food choices, clean uniforms, and daily exercise. This foundation of self-caring is extended by structured weekly groups and practice on values, community service, current events, and international crafts.
