Junior High, Designed Differently.

Your Child Deserves a Place Where They Can Thrive.

For students in grades 7–8 with learning differences, Junior High at New Way Academy provides more individualized attention in an environment designed around how they learn.

With small class sizes and a 10:1 student-to-teacher ratio, students receive individualized learning, integrated support, and the attention they need to build confidence, thrive academically, and feel understood.

Students also have a well-rounded school experience with daily STEM and Social Studies, electives like Art and PE, a full gym and cafeteria, and access to after-school clubs and sports. For students who need additional academic support, an extra period of Math or ELA provides dedicated time to strengthen foundational skills and stay on track.

Extra Math & ELA Support

We moved from Chicago specifically to allow our children to attend New Way Academy. Our family was struggling with the challenges of raising children with learning differences and we were turning to New Way for help. Admittedly we took a “leap of faith” and this leap was rewarded in countless ways. Not only are our children now thriving academically, socially and emotionally but our entire family dynamic has improved as well.

My son went from dreading school with feelings of inadequacy to looking forward to all aspects of school, participating in football, basketball, and soccer, as well as a variety of social events, community service projects, and dances.
New Way Mom
At New Way, my son has learned to trust again.
New Way Mom
He has learned to self-advocate and no longer sees his learning differences as learning disabilities.

She loves that the school is small enough to feel comfortable, but just large enough for her to feel part of a bigger, robust school within a traditional campus culture.
