Academics are just the beginning. We offer a fully accredited academic curriculum including English, math, science, history, art, speech & language, reading, computer science, and ethics. But we believe our students should have a well-rounded education going beyond academic courses. That's why we bring a variety of guest speakers and performers to our school from organizations such as Blue Apple Players, Walden Theater, Metro Louisville Police Department, Jefferson County Public Schools, Junior Achievement, and numerous other businesses throughout the community. We also encourage and support our students' participation in the many fine programs offered by Special Olympics.
