Positive Expectations Academy (PEA) is a specialized private school for children diagnosed with emotional, behavioral and learning disabilities who are experiencing educational difficulty in a general classroom setting.

PEA provides individualized education programs designed to help these children reach their full potential.

Our school provides a positive, supportive and structured classroom environment with a low student-teacher ratio.

Each child is admitted on a case-by-case basis, once we establish that the child would be best served by our special environment.
