Orion Academy is a day school designed to provide a comprehensive program for high school students with neurocognitive disabilities. These students have the potential for success, but traditional teaching models often fail to meet their needs. Orion Academy offers a program tailored to the strengths and needs of these students, targeting their social growth, transition skills, and academic excellence. Orion Academy maintains high educational standards, as it is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. The school’s curriculum meets California standards and benchmarks, and it offers UC-approved course offerings to prepare students for college. Orion Academy employs highly qualified faculty, including certificated teachers, special education experts, psychologists, and an educational therapist. Orion Academy utilizes technology as an organizational tool and focus for learning, aiming to teach students applicable skills in a paperless environment. The school is approved by the State of California to accept publicly funded students through IEP placements, and it prioritizes collaboration and communication with families and stakeholders.
