Notes for Prospective Students
Vertical Skills Academy serves bright students who have a primary
language-based learning disability, such as Dyslexia, and who may
have difficulties with writing, math, or attention. Vertical
Skills Academy strives to maintain a well-defined student body in
order to provide focused instruction, enhance social-emotional
learning, and maximize learning opportunities. As every child
has a unique history and learning profile with individual strengths
and weaknesses which broadly impact learning, VSA must follow
strict enrollment guidelines to ensure success for all students and
staff. We believe it is imperative that students are able to
attend to instruction, listen and understand, maintain behavioral
expectations so that academic skills related to speaking, reading,
writing, and math grow. The enrollment process includes discussions
with parents, students, current teachers, and additional
interventionists as well as current data including applicable
professional evaluation(s), report cards, IEP/504 Plan, and
progress monitoring. Following a thorough data collection
process students are invited to spend the morning at school
socializing and participating in classes. Enrollment decisions are
made shortly after a student shadows or the family meets with
admissions when school is not in session.
