Our Top Notch COGNIA-Accredited Educational Program

You don’t want your child to fall through the cracks academically while they get their behavior under control, and neither do we!  Education goes on year-round here, and class sizes at Stillwater are small.  The curriculum is customized, so each student learns at their own level and pace, overseen and encouraged by licensed teachers.  Such focused academic attention has proven especially helpful for students who are struggling with poor grades, ADHD, and learning disorders.

Students at Stillwater begin to thrive educationally as they also grow behaviorally, emotionally, and psychologically.  Academic subjects like Math, Science, English, History, and Art, along with others, all start to make sense and come to life for our students – some of whom have never succeeded in school.  In fact, on average, students see a 1.5 grade-point increase in their cumulative GPA during their stay in the program.

• Provide a successful educational experience that supports the emotional, mental, and social growth and development of each student.

Helping Struggling Teens Facing Challenges in Executive Function

In today’s fast-paced and demanding world, many teens find themselves grappling with challenges related to executive function, such as organization, time management, and impulse control. Executive function refers to a set of cognitive processes that enable individuals to manage their thoughts, actions, and emotions in order to achieve goals. At Stillwater, we aim to provide support and guidance to teenagers facing these difficulties. Through a comprehensive approach, the program addresses various aspects of executive function, helping teens develop skills that are crucial for academic success and overall well-being. By offering targeted interventions and fostering a supportive environment, Stillwater Academy strives to empower teens to overcome obstacles associated with executive function and thrive in their personal and academic lives.
