Full Time Academy Grades 5-12
Traditional education programs often create gaps in learning for students with special needs. These academic gaps can be filled through a customized curriculum. No student should be "passed through" without mastery of a subject just because the rest of the class is ready to move forward. Focus Academy believes students should also be challenged to investigate future career opportunities through a vast array of electives. The foundation for relationship skills is built by hands-on learning of social understanding skills and by practicing interactions in real-life situations. Students work together and enter competitions such as the Renaissance Festival Trebuchet competition or various chess tournaments in and around the Houston metroplex.
Focus Academy is a different kind of school. Rather than just trying to get students through high school, they follow a philosophy of preparing students for college and life.
The school is all about customization to the students' needs through accelerated programs and development of self.
They have proven that students can learn better and faster if given appropriate tools and are surrounded by supportive grown-ups.
They have proven that students who learn these tools can complete middle school in half the time, complete high school early and even earn college credits before they graduate. Improving the Status Quo
Focus Academy wants to equip the next generation of students not only for higher education, but develop a generation with character, independence, self-reliance and the motivation to improve the status quo.
They want to stop raising children and start raising adults… who will take leadership at an early age.
They want to find parents unwilling to settle for mediocrity for their children just because they have different needs.
