Located in the heart of Lincoln Center-NYC, Academics West is a therapeutic school that services up to 85 students from 1st grade through 12th grade who exhibit social-emotional challenges and/or learning differences. Our small student to teacher ratio (5:2) allows us to work more intensively with students, achieving good outcomes. Clinically Informed Academics (CIA) is an approach infused throughout the curriculum that considers the whole student to formulate effective individualized learning strategies.
This approach combines clinical knowledge with academic interventions to help students improve beyond what traditional methods can achieve. The programs are both therapeutic, treating the social-emotional aspects, and academic, providing intense support and strategies for educational success.
