Your Child Is Capable. School Just Hasn’t Fit.
Focus Plus Academy is an independent private school for bright, capable students who learn differently.
Some students can manage well enough to get by, but still aren’t getting the individual attention, structure, or support they need to truly thrive.
They don’t need lower expectations.
They need an intentionally smaller, more flexible school where teachers can get to know them well, understand how they learn, teach the skills that are missing, and help them build confidence and independence.

Who Focus Plus Academy Is For
Focus Plus Academy may be a good fit for students who:
- Understand more than their grades, completed work, or school experience suggest
- May have ADHD, autism, AuDHD, executive functioning challenges, or other learning differences
- Typically have an uneven learning profile, with strengths in some areas and a need for more teaching or support in others
- Might manage in a traditional classroom but benefit from more individual attention and support than they are currently receiving
- May have academic or executive functioning skills that still need to be explicitly taught
- Might become overwhelmed when demands, pressure, or frustration become too high
- Could benefit from more structure and predictable routines while also needing flexibility
- May be especially curious and engaged when the subject, approach, or level of challenge is right
Support Is Built Into the School Day
At Focus Plus Academy, support is part of the learning environment, not something added only after a student begins to struggle.
Students learn in smaller classes where teachers can notice when they need more explanation, additional practice, a different approach, or explicit teaching of a missing skill.
Structure and flexibility are built into the school day, allowing support to shift based on what each student needs to keep moving forward.
Academics
Teacher-Led. Flexible by Design.
Focus Plus Academy combines professionally developed, standards-aligned curriculum with experienced, credentialed teachers who provide instruction, guidance, and support throughout the learning process.
Students work at an appropriate pace, with opportunities to review concepts, receive additional explanation or practice, and demonstrate understanding before moving on. Mastery checks help teachers see what students have learned and where additional support or challenge may be needed.
Our academic model is designed to give students greater ownership of their learning while still providing the structure and teacher support they need to be successful. Movement, flexibility, and additional time are built into the school day so students can stay engaged and make meaningful progress.
Strong academics. Support where needed. Challenge where ready.
How Focus Plus Academy Is Different
- Consistent, Collaborative Teacher Approach
Teachers share a common approach to communication, problem-solving, expectations, and student support, creating greater consistency throughout the school day. - Small by Design: 5:1 Student-to-Staff Ratio
An intentionally small-school setting allows teachers to know students well, notice what they need, and respond with the right support or challenge. - Executive Functioning Skills Are Taught
Planning, organization, time management, getting started, prioritizing, and follow-through are explicitly taught and practiced throughout the school year. - Social-Emotional and Life Skills Are Part of the Curriculum
Students build skills in emotional literacy, communication, mindfulness, gratitude, self-awareness, self-advocacy, relationships, problem-solving, wellbeing, decision-making, and independence. - Movement, Social Connection, and Time to Reset Are
Built Into the Day
Purposeful movement and scheduled social connection breaks give students time to move, reset, and spend time with classmates. Teachers are present to support positive interactions, provide guidance when needed, and help students return to learning ready to re-engage.
