Our Philosophy

At Carillon, we see students as individuals, not a bloc. Neurodiverse students with ADHD, dyslexia, dyscalculia, autism, intellectual and/or emotional disabilities, PANS/PANDAS, or who have no diagnostic label, thrive when instruction is tailored to their individual strengths. We design (and continually re-design) our curriculum and environment for individual students instead of molding students to fit our program.

Carillon students achieve success through low staff/student ratios (1:3) which allows us to provide one-on-one instruction daily. Teachers chunk, scaffold, and adapt instruction to fill in learning gaps that have prevented our students’ success in the past. As students experience academic success, their confidence grows, which fuels their desire for further learning.

Carillon Academy serves as a bridge between the student and the larger educational world. Individual assessments at the beginning and end of each school year track student learning and help parents keep pace with their child’s learning level in relation to traditional education systems.

The environment at Carillon Academy is designed to meet student sensory needs by providing quiet study areas, opportunities to employ regulation strategies, ample movement and outdoor time, and meaningful social interactions. This might look like an elementary student taking a quick run-and-jump break before beginning a writing assignment or a middle school student choosing a comfortable place to work with a classmate on a challenging math assignment.

Carillon Academy is committed to maintaining an environment that is free from discrimination and harassment of any kind.

Carillon Academy fosters an inclusive educational and workplace environment designed to confer respect to all individuals. Discrimination, including harassment, based on race, ethnic or national origin, color, religion, age, sexual orientation, marital status, pregnancy, gender identity, military status, sex, childbirth or related medical conditions, disability, and/or any other protected class is prohibited.

No individual who participates in or attends Carillon Academy shall be excluded from participation in, denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination on any of the above-listed bases.

Student Equal Educational Opportunities/Nondiscrimination.

Carillon Academy commits to providing equitable treatment and opportunities for all.

The curriculum fosters this goal by engendering respect for the abilities and accomplishments of all people.

The Carillon Academy Board and Staff encourage all other members of the school community to join in this commitment and to promote equity and positive human relations as a part of every school-related activity.
