About

Welcome from Head of School

We believe we are the difference that you're seeking. At Currey Ingram Academy we settle for nothing less than being a global leader for students with learning differences.
For over 50 years, we have had a tradition of transformation. Families come to us overwhelmed by the challenges of learning differences, and we provide the answers. Our school is based on a bold promise -- the promise that we can unleash the potential in every child with a learning difference. The Currey Ingram experience is affirming, supportive, strengths-focused and led by educators with the passion to serve our students and who delight in their progress.
 
The heart of our school is our core academic program. Guided by numerous on-staff experts, comprehensive diagnostic testing, extensive and ongoing professional development and a Scientific Advisory Board, we mold Individualized Learning Plans (ILPs) that are utterly unique for each student. Recently, we have added valuable curriculum support to enhance executive functioning and social-emotional learning. Students are also provided extensive extracurricular opportunities in the arts and athletics. And, complementing our day program, is a Residential Life (boarding) program for Upper School students.

Our model is comprehensive and intensive, yet accessible. Currey Ingram provides significant need-based financial assistance for students who fit our mission and for families who need it. 

Currey Ingram is the school our students and families deserve and we would be honored if you gave us the opportunity to demonstrate how we can make a difference for you.

Sincerely,
Dr. Jeffrey L. Mitchell
Head of School

    We LOVE CIA! My kids are living their best lives and being their best, most true selves. I have never seen them thrive in school like this! One of my favorite things is the strengths-based learning approach. My children’s teachers value their unique traits and share their support openly, which means so much for kids who have struggled in other environments. I can’t say enough praise about our experience so far.

  • Parent testimonial, 2023

    CIA has become a second home for our son. He tells us every year that he loves his school and that he wants to stay until he graduates. As parents, it is such a relief to know that he feels like he can succeed at school and is excited to go every day. He has grown so much over the years, and we have CIA to thank for where he is today!

    The faculty and staff are incredibly caring and dedicated. You can tell there’s a deep passion for their mission of serving the children. They’ve done a lot to make our son, and our family welcomed into the community. I wish I had enrolled my son here 3 years ago.

  • Parent testimonial, 2023

    I will never be able to thank Currey Ingram enough for what it has given to my family. It has brought peace to our home. It has allowed us to have family time for the first time. It has stopped our tears, our heartbreak, and our exhaustion. It has given us hope and a chance to believe that our child and our family are going to be okay now and in the future.

    Currey Ingram is the single best investment our family has ever made and the returns are immediate. I cannot imagine where we would be without CIA. Thank you a thousand times.
