Meeting Students Where They Are for Academic Success

The purpose of education is much greater than assisting students in knowing more. Education means helping our students become better able to care, think, understand, imagine, and adapt. At Lake House Academy therapeutic boarding school for girls, we fully integrate emotional and social development with comprehensive and rigorous educational standards. This helps our students become autonomous learners with a lifelong love for learning.

With that philosophy in mind, our highly qualified teachers lead students in a curriculum aligned with national standards. In addition, our academic team supports the therapeutic school environment by providing supplemental assistance and nurturing throughout the day.

Setting the Standard for Academic Excellence

We know academic success is crucial to a student’s overall health and well-being. We also know that a secure student-teacher connection can enhance learning by triggering brain development. New pathways create clear routes for students to meet their individualized academic goals.

Our focus at Lake House Academy is on building positive relationships and developing critical thinking. Our team carefully monitors each student individually to ensure they grow and improve throughout their stay. Our goal is to create lifelong learners while building personal education tools geared toward success. 

Lake House's classrooms use direct instruction with a devoted teacher for each class. By keeping classroom sizes small, we are able to deliver diverse lessons that reach more students and accommodate all learning styles.

By meeting students where they are and helping them on their individualized path, Lake House Academy students come to love learning while working on life skills that benefit them outside the classroom. 

As a mental health boarding school, we optimize learning by enhancing motivation, regulating anxiety, and triggering neuroplasticity (the brain’s ability to reorganize itself). Developing emotional regulation skills is the first step to helping our students learn. Once students can better regulate themselves, we expand our focus to exhibiting appropriate classroom behavior and executive functioning skills, which dramatically affect their ability to master academic content.

Individualized Success for Every Student

Individualized Academic Plan (IAP) - Every Student

Upon admission to Lake House, we create an Individualized Academic Plan (IAP) for each student. This fluid document considers school transcripts, report cards, neuropsychological tests, Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), and 504 plans, and it evolves according to their Master Treatment Plan (MTP) and face-to-face evaluations. 

Many Lake House Academy students have had past struggles with school, and our team works diligently to ensure each student understands expectations around how to achieve academic success. 

Master Treatment Plan

Our academic team works hand and hand with the clinical team to create academic goals that coincide with the individual students' master treatment therapeutic goals. 

Our teachers work directly with each student to verify they meet measurable goals targeted to their individualized learning style and needs. These goals help all students with educational, social, and emotional accommodations to help ensure success and growth. Using the students' IAP and MTP allows us to continually monitor their progress using up-to-date information that guides informed decision-making to support growth.
