The Academy New Jersey is part of The Academy Way network of unique child-centered 3rd – 12th grade private schools specializing in educating children with Dyslexia, ADD/ADHD, severe reading deficiencies, and those who struggle in traditional school environments. We discover and cultivate the GREATNESS in each one of our students through interactive and multisensory real-life learning and an entrepreneurial focus. Our school embraces movement, loves the outdoors, encourages discussion, exploration and creation, and teaches kids that failures are amazing opportunities to learn, grow and accomplish something remarkable.
Our highest academic priority is getting our students to become amazing readers. To accomplish this, we utilize an Orton-Gillingham based Structured Literacy approach for all of our students and in all of our schools. In addition to Structured Literacy, we incorporate a well-rounded, foundational curriculum aimed at developing literacy, math and critical thinking skills.
More specifically, The Academy Way involves these additional academic areas:
1. Wilson Reading Program
2. Phonemic Awareness (Heggerty)
3. ELA (Writing, Reading Comprehension, Current Events)
4. Multisensory Math and Science
5. Entrepreneurship
We are located in the magnificent Bell Works facility at 101 Crawfords Corner Rd., Holmdel, NJ 07733.
The Academy New Jersey will launch in September 2021.
For our inaugural year, we are welcoming children in 3rd – 6th grades. We will add one additional grade each year and have our first graduating class in 2027-2028.
School Showcase Event
Please join us on Saturday, April 10th @ the Bell Works facility for our initial School Showcase Event. At this event, we will expose and engage both kids and parents to the various elements and parts of our school that truly make our school one-of-a-kind. When you finish your 90 minute session, all participants will leave with a clear understanding of the amazing child-centered program that we have planned for our students for the 2021-2022 school year. Due to COVID precautions, you must pre-register for this event on our website: www.TheAcademyNJ.org
