Supporting and empowering students with learning differences to achieve their fullest potential.
Residential life at Currey Ingram Academy continues the mission of the day school program by supporting and empowering students with learning differences to achieve their fullest potential - academically and socially - within an environment that fosters holistic student development.
 
Currey Ingram Academy’s commitment to promoting strengths and supporting differences in students does not stop at the end of the school day. Residential life at Currey Ingram is open to students in grades 9-12, with 8th grade consideration, and provides another transformative level of individualized learning and attention. Just as every student is at the center of their educational journey, our boarding students experience specialized support as they nurture responsibility and develop necessary life, social and self-advocacy skills.

  • Who We Serve

    At Currey Ingram Academy, we understand that students learn differently so we must teach differently. Our teachers use evidence-based instructional approaches and present material through an individualized, structured and multisensory approach (visual, auditory, and kinesthetic) to best meet the instructional and learning needs of our students. Currey Ingram Academy accepts students compatible with the mission of the school; however, within the residential program, students will be accepted using additional criteria that aligns with a 24/7 environment. 
     
    Our Upper School program serves students in 9th through 12th grades with average to superior intelligence with learning differences, particularly in reading (dyslexia), writing (dysgraphia), math (dyscalculia), memory (long-term and working), processing speed, ADHD, executive functioning challenges or other learning differences that prevent academically capable students from achieving success in a traditional educational setting.
  • Staff/Student Ratio

    Residential Hall:
    Maximum of 32 students
    1:4.5 (adult to student ratio)
  • Students Our Mission Doesn't Serve

    Although we serve a wide range of students with learning differences, there are student profiles that fall outside of our mission and scope of service. These include students who are diagnosed by a professional with:
    • An intellectual disability.
    • Moderate-to-severe Autism Spectrum Disorders
      • ASD that results in significant social communication impairments and behavioral impairments.
    • Moderate-to-severe emotional problems
    • A history of school-related behavioral or conduct challenges, including:
      • Oppositional Defiant Disorder
      • Conduct Disorder
      • Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder
    **Although a student may not have a diagnosed learning difference, on occasion, a student is accepted because there is a need for a smaller, more personalized learning environment. These students typically flourish in our environment, as well.
