We approach learning through the lens of Emotional Regulation with an alternative that is designed to meet student's individual needs. Sparrow Academy offers concessions to students that can benefit mainstream students as well! Sparrow Academy could be your child's first step to healing!
Why Sparrow?

Our core belief at Sparrow Academy is based on the paradigm of Emotionally-Regulated Healing for children. We offer a smaller class size than traditional schools, and our classroom settings offer a relaxed vibe as their set up with living room furniture along with desk/table seating.
  • We take a purposeful, healing approach to individuals exposed to trauma and those who struggle with emotional issues.
  • We seek to understand the connection between presenting symptoms and behaviors and the student`s history in order to better educate the child.
  • Our programs are designed to meet the needs of mainstream students and students who have experienced abandonment, abuse, or neglect.
