Mission or Philosophy: The purpose of this school is to provide a positive growth and learning experience for the children of the community in safe, caring, and consistently structured atmosphere. Due consideration will be made in both the construction of the curriculum and our teaching practices to offer a high level of education to the gifted student, while at the same time offering a remedial education for the "At Risk" student. This school is designed to help develop moral character, a sense of accountability, and wisdom in their lives. Standards of personal conduct, school policies and curriculum continue to build the student's sense of responsibility and integrity.

Distinctive Features of the School: -A+ Academy's classroom lessons are presented with attention to students' many different learning styles: visual, auditory, tactile, kinesthetic, global, and analytic. -We believe that extra-curricular activities are used to promote self-esteem. We offer flag-football, basketball, track and field, cheerleading, volleyball, art, and journalism. No try-outs are required for any of the extra-curricular activities, so all of our students can participate if they desire. The only requirement to participate in extra-curricular activities is that the student must pass to play.
