Morningside Academy's unique program is internationally recognized and acclaimed for children and adults.
- Students develop motivation, pride in their accomplishments, and build self esteem and self concept.
- We build on existing academic skills, and tailor individualized and small-group instruction to meet each student's needs.
- Our teachers know that all students can be successful given the proper curriculum placement, instructional materials and lots of opportunities to practice newly learned skills.
- Our unique combination of research based methods, such as precision teaching, talk aloud problem solving, direct instruction, and strong classroom management leads to rapid academic progress for all of our students.
"Teaching is adjusted until the student is successful. No one falls through the cracks. Practicing skills until they are fluent may be the most important part of what we do. Speed and accuracy together is what "fluency" is all about." -Kent Johnson, Ph.D., Founding Director
