About Alpha Academy

 
AlphA Academy is a public charter school designed to bring your child an atmosphere where the normal pressures of  their peers are minimized. AlphA Academy's curriculum is centered around the actual "NEEDS" of your child by working in smaller groups and providing the ability of the "one on one" training so desperately needed in today's every-changing world.

The development of your child also depends on the parents' involvement as a participant and role model. Therefore, our direction of teaching not only follows the Charter Schools Act which focuses on standard policies and procedures, but the voice of the community.

If you have a child in our school, would like to enroll your child in our school and you are interested in becoming a member or participant in our PTF (Parent Task Force) please contact us and let us know. The continued success of Alpha Academy is contingent upon the success of our students where we will remain among the leaders of our community.
