Welcome to Atlantis Academy, where our mission is to cultivate a safe and nurturing environment that enhances the academic, social, and emotional growth of our students while fostering a sense of self-worth and self-confidence. Atlantis Academy provides a comprehensive education program tailored to meet the unique learning needs of each student, spanning from kindergarten through 12th grade (up to age 22).
About Atlantis Academy:
Established in Miami in 1976, Atlantis Academy was founded as an innovative school for students requiring personalized programs with individualized attention and specialized instruction. Emphasizing the importance of parent/teacher/student relationships, we form close connections with our families to be active participants in developing educational programs that achieve their child’s individual goals.
L.I.F.E. Programs:
Our Atlantis Academy L.I.F.E. Programs in Coral Springs and Miami are specifically designed to support young adults with varying abilities over the age of 18. These programs empower participants with the skills needed to lead more independent lives at home and in the workplace.
Personalized Learning Approach:
At Atlantis Academy, all students follow a personalized program aligned with state standards. Upon enrollment, students undergo a comprehensive assessment and monitoring plan, identifying the appropriate levels of instruction and intervention required for their unique needs. Throughout the school year, students are reassessed three times to measure progress and guide decisions for optimal support.
Teaching and Learning:
We are committed to providing evidence-based curriculum and instruction, preparing our students for successful post-secondary options, including college and careers. Our emphasis is on facilitating academic success and fostering a love for lifelong learning.
Behavior Support Continuum of Services:
Atlantis Academy is dedicated to helping students manage their own behavior. We implement the Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) framework for delivering school-wide, classroom, and individual behavior supports, creating a positive and inclusive learning environment.
Progress Monitoring and Assessment:
Our students participate in comprehensive assessments throughout the school year, allowing teachers to screen, benchmark, measure growth, and plan instruction accordingly. The assessment plan guides the development of a personalized course of study that matches students with the appropriate content and addresses their behavioral needs.
Affective Education & Social Skills Instruction:
We incorporate evidence-based social skills instruction into all aspects of the school day. Small group discussions, role-playing activities, and social skills training are seamlessly integrated into academic instruction. We place additional emphasis on teaching problem-solving skills and strategies to prevent and respond to bullying.
