Why Choose Academics West?
Selecting a specialized school can be a challenging and oftentimes emotional situation for families. Simply, it can be confusing to figure out what level of care each school is able to provide. Academics West is accredited both academically and therapeutically, which reflects the high standards of care we are dedicated to. Each student’s schedule includes a minimum of five therapeutic services each week and family support are an integral component of our model. Our therapist to student ratio is on average 1:5 (16 clinicians on site for a maximum of 75 students) ensuring all students benefit from direct and consistent care.
What Makes Our School an Accredited Therapeutic School?
Therapy is a requirement for all students and is conducted solely by licensed mental health professionals with a minimum of two years of experience. This level of certification also indicates that family therapy is an integral part of the program. Academics West, therefore, provides traditional academic support and remediation while also offering a wide array of clinical interventions. Students benefit from individual and group therapy, family therapy, art therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy in an integrated collaborative care model.
