About Our Program

We offer an inclusive learning environment, which builds a caring community for neurotypical and neurodiverse learners.

Families can expect a superior private education in Las Vegas and homeschool alternative based on skills mastery, not grades. 

Our Mission

Accelerated Learning Academy provides high quality, inclusive education to diverse learners in Southern Nevada. We believe every learner is capable of high achievement and that diversity adds value. Accelerated Learning Academy works with learners, their families, and our community to provide a safe, accelerated, evidence-based education rooted in kindness and understanding. We know every child is capable of success. Our vision is to become the gold standard for inclusive learning in Southern Nevada.

Our Values

  • Children cannot learn kindness, empathy, and fairness unless they are in a place where these tenets are modeled and they feel safe. 

  • Every child is capable of learning and has the potential to develop skills beyond their current level

  • Communication and Independence skills that lead to improved personal relationships and self-determination should be targeted

  • Every child is able of contributing to their community in ways, small or profound, which empowers them to make a meaningful impact on the world.

  • Evidence-based practices, founded in the science of Learning and its underlying assumptions, will lead to the best possible outcomes

Principal’s Welcome

ALA has been born out of a passion and commitment to provide rigorous comprehensive education to all Learners. Where labels do not define any child; but instead we assume all children can learn given supportive well-trained staff and strong evidence based curriculum.

​ALA is the bridge for many of our Learners, who often have received Applied Behavior Analysis services and Early Intervention, who now need a nurturing inclusive educational setting.

For our neurotypical learners, ALA offers a small innovative approach to education: one where they learn through compassion for peers, teach through their model, and thrive in their own right given the individual nature every Learner accesses at the Academy.

I am so proud to offer a unique learning opportunity, which ensures our learner's the resources they need and the education they deserve.
