The Hirsch Academy is trailblazing a very important path in education. They truly presume competence and work from a strengths-based, connection-focused approach. The efficacy of their model is clear. Students are supported holistically, and parents, teachers, and administrators work together as a team to best support the students in their learning. When Hirsch says they believe that individual differences should be understood, supported, and celebrated, it isn’t just talk. Our students, staff, and families are truly valued and celebrated for who they are as well as given the supports they need to grow and thrive.

EXCEPTIONAL ! Hirsch Academy gave my son his rights to dream again. Having learning differences is hard in a traditional school setting for a child who has dreams just like kids without learning differences. The competent and caring teachers at Hirsch Academy believed in him and helped him regain his confidence, so he started believing in himself. Hirsch set the stage for success in high school and beyond. I am eternally grateful to the leadership and staff of Hirsch academy.

I never thought I could find a school that could see what my husband and I see in our exceptional and radiant child. Every day in the notes from his teacher, she often talks bout his strengths and all the ways he is being supported. He is coming home happy and talking about other children for the first time. Our family is forever grateful. So thankful we found The HIrsch Academy for him and for us.

EXCELLENT SCHOOL!! bright, caring staff, very low student/staff ratio. my son loved school, learned to regulate his emotions, became an excellent student, received o.t. and speech services. had great friends. an incredible all-round education, with relationships at the core. highly recommend Hirsch Academy!!!
