I rarely write reviews but I feel compelled to do so because there may be a parent out there searching for that key to their child’s educational success. Three years ago I was in search of the very same thing and stumbled upon Launch Academy. Since then, this educational institution has been instrumental in nurturing my son’s personal and academic growth.

Initially, I held reservations about enrolling my son in a private school, primarily concerning tuition expenses and daily commuting logistics. My journey started with a profound understanding of the concept of Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE), which mandates that schools provide tailored special education to address each child’s specific needs. It became increasingly clear, after years of struggling with my son’s elementary school, starting from kindergarten, that they were falling short in upholding this fundamental right.

Our discovery of Launch Academy came through a trusted colleague whose son had graduated from Launch the previous year and a freshman in college. She had wrestled with her child’s education for years, transitioning him from the public system to multiple private schools. She confided that she had begun to doubt her son’s chances of ever graduating from high school until she turned to Launch Academy as a last-ditch effort for his future, which remarkably proved to be successful.

After hearing her story I was still a bit skeptical, but we decided to visit and tour the school with my son. Meeting with the head of the school, Mr. Richard Kelly, was a life-changing experience. Mr. Kelly, a remarkable individual, effortlessly engaged with my shy, introverted son, and within a mere 10 minutes, my son eagerly joined a class without any hesitation.

The dedicated staff and educators are not only highly qualified but also genuinely caring. They go above and beyond to ensure that each student’s unique needs are met.

The curriculum is innovative and engaging, keeping students excited about learning. My son has developed a strong foundation in various subjects and has shown remarkable progress since joining Launch.

Prior to Launch Academy, my son used to complain of various illnesses daily in an attempt to stay home from school. Now he is excited about going to school and for the last 3 years he has maintained near-perfect attendance.

Launch Academy places a strong emphasis on character development and instills values such as respect, responsibility, and empathy in its students. This holistic approach to education is commendable and sets the school apart. Launch Academy has consistently surpassed each and every expectation. The transformation in my son is truly remarkable. He has evolved into a confident young man with an insatiable thirst for knowledge. I am so grateful to each and every staff member, you guys are amazing!!

Launch Academy has been one of the best decisions we have ever made for our family. Our son is thriving, loves going to school and is surrounded by teachers and staff that truly care and get it. We put off pulling our son from public school for years and just kept trying to make it fit for him. We realized it wasn’t a match and started touring schools. After meeting with Richard and touring the school and observing we knew in our hearts this was where he belonged! My only regret is not doing it sooner. ??

As a mental health counselor, I absolutely love what Launch Academy is all about. They prioritize creating a safe and welcoming environment for neurodivergent students. Several of my clients throughout the years have attended the school and have greatly benefitted from their wonderful program. If you’re looking for an alternative program for your neurodivergent teen, this school is definitely worth checking out!
