KVC Academy provides K-12 therapeutic education for children and teens who may struggle in traditional school settings due to emotional, behavioral, developmental or learning challenges. Students learn in a warm, structured environment where education and therapeutic support work together to help them feel safe, connected and empowered to succeed.

KVC Academy serves K–12 students with unique educational, behavioral health and developmental needs who may benefit from a more individualized and therapeutic learning environment.

Students may benefit if they are struggling in a traditional school setting, need additional academic or therapeutic support, experience emotional or behavioral challenges that affect learning or would benefit from a smaller, more structured learning environment.

Eligibility is based on the student’s individual educational and support needs and applicable program requirements. A diagnosis alone does not determine eligibility. Our team can help referral partners understand the specific criteria and determine whether KVC Academy may be an appropriate option.

KVC Academy combines education and therapeutic support in one setting. Small class sizes, individualized instruction and collaboration between teachers, therapists and other school personnel allow us to meet each student’s unique needs. Our trauma-informed approach focuses on helping students feel safe, build skills and develop confidence while working toward their academic goals.

KVC Academy provides individualized K-12 education and therapeutic support in small classroom settings. Students may receive individualized instruction, evidence-based behavioral strategies, social skills support and therapy from licensed clinical therapists. KVC Academy also offers specialized programming and support for youth with autism and other developmental needs.

Referrals to KVC Academy may come from school districts, educators, school counselors, social workers, behavioral health professionals, healthcare providers, community partners and families. If you know a student who may benefit from a more individualized and therapeutic educational environment, we encourage you to connect with the KVC Academy team to discuss next steps.

Our team reviews the student’s information and needs, connects with the appropriate parties and works with the student, family and referring team to determine next steps.

The enrollment timeline can vary depending on the student’s needs, required documentation and coordination with the referring school district or other partners. Our team works with families and referral partners throughout the process to help make enrollment as smooth as possible.
