Each classroom is equipped with state of the art technology to help support both our teachers and our students. Each class has a set of chrome books for student learning and a promethean board to help support the teachers lessons. We also support the use of assistive technology in the classrooms as it is a great need for most of our students to be able to communicate with staff and piers.

Here at a Step Ahead Academy we believe that all families should be engaged in their students learning. We send home daily communication logs, and monthly newsletters about happenings in the school building and offer the opportunity for families to have a meeting with their students teacher whenever they need to or have questions about how their student is doing. Here at the academy we believe that we need to be a team so our students can succeed and to do that we need the support from our families at home.

I think that my academy would be a really powerful school. I think that we do not have enough schools that focus on the needs of students with disabilities, and that they usually get lost in the shuffle of the public school system
