The Crossway Student
A Crossway student is a child with mild to moderate developmental needs who is able to learn successfully within a small-group setting and does not require intensive behavioral support. Our students show a desire to learn new skills, build independence, and form meaningful friendships.
Crossway Academy provides a therapeutic, supportive environment where small class sizes allow for individualized and differentiated instruction. In addition to academic learning, students benefit from integrated occupational, physical, and speech therapy, as well as music therapy, Allegro Movement Therapy, and extracurricular opportunities.
Our team continually refines this curriculum to ensure each child receives personalized, developmentally appropriate instruction that helps them thrive.
A Crossway Student:
1. Loves school, and has the ability to work within a small group.
2. Has attended at least one full year of preschool or kindergarten prior to attending Crossway.
3. Has the ability to learn in a small group setting with minimal support, or a one-on-one is required.
4. Has age appropriate feeding skills.
5. Is able to physically transition between activities independently; follows general safety guidelines (not prone to wander or run).
6. Is eager to make friends, and is receptive to social skills training.
7. Has no history of diagnosed behavioral or emotional disorders such as ODD and does not require one to one support for behavior. If the child does require Applied Behavioral Analysis support, the family needs to provide this and discuss prior to admission.
8. Has a supportive home environment for carryover of therapeutic and academic recommendations.
Our teacher to student ratio is 1 to 5. Our classrooms are multi-age and multi-grade. Classroom placements are determined based on social and academic needs.
