Individual Attention

Our program is individualized to meet each student's educational needs. Students are evaluated with nationally-standardized tests before entry to the academy to assess each child's requirement. These evaluation scores are then utilized to design the best possible customized curriculum to meet those needs and help the student become productive, self-confident, and successful.

Within the small classes, our staff is able to address the students' special needs and areas of weakness are strengthened. In addition, enrichment and acceleration programs can be implemented.

"I enrolled my son Nial at Allison Academy when he was very young because I felt that he needed to be in a smaller setting to master basic skills and improve his academic performance," said Nial's mother, a full-time 2nd grade teacher with the Miami-Dade County public school system. "I also wanted to put him in the right environment that would be conductive to learning. The public schools are overcrowded which makes learning very difficult."

Nial, a self-assured and confident young man who graduated in 1997 from the academy, bills himself as a professional actor, model, producer, writer, and chairman and chief executive officer of his own production company. Of course, he accomplished all this in his after school hours. Nial's youngest brother, Adrial, has also attended the academy summer school program.

In the classroom, we use a wide variety of individualized educational materials, instructional techniques, and the latest state-of-the-art technology to assist in providing the best and most effective means to instruct each student.
