Churchill Academy is a one-of-a-kind school for bright children with unique learning differences.  For some this may mean that they can read information, but cannot remember it.  For others this means that they understand what they read, but cannot express it.  Many are gifted in specific intellectual and academic areas, but their potential is overlooked by educators because they aren’t able to achieve in mainstream academic environments with traditional methods, materials and techniques.  These children learn differently. 

Churchill Academy is a unique, supportive environment with individualized academic programming for grades K-12.  Churchill’s low student-teacher ratio, tailored learning programs, remedial programming, and behavior management techniques teach to students’ strengths, and addresses their weaknesses.  We provide detailed biannual progress reports, training seminars, and other activities which foster parent involvement.
