Who we are
Phoenix Academy is a non-profit private school, kindergarten to eighth grade, that helps students with learning challenges get back on track. Our students transfer to Phoenix Academy from schools across Iowa and Nebraska — both public and private — to benefit from intensive reading and math classes, small class sizes and a supportive learning environment.
The Reading and Math Specialists
Phoenix Academy’s approach helps children with a variety of learning styles become confident readers and writers. Our curriculum is an intensive phonetics-based reading program offering a highly structured multi-sensory approach (see it, hear it, say it, and write it). As part of a broad curriculum, Phoenix Academy students also benefit from intensive math programs that emphasize basic skills and build on math concepts through pre-algebra.
We are Unique
Students are placed in classrooms based on their instructional levels. The average stay at Phoenix Academy is two to three years. Phoenix Academy enables students to develop their academic skills while rebuilding their self-esteem and confidence. Our success is measured by the countless number of students who have returned to traditional classrooms with the skills they need to be successful.
Success Starts in the Classroom
Students not only grow academically at Phoenix Academy, they often blossom socially and emotionally too. Nothing is more rewarding for our educators than to watch a student’s confidence soar as they discover their ability to learn, contribute in the classroom, make friends and develop goals for the future.
