Paladin Academy

My son has been going to Paladin for all of middle school and now in 11th grade and he's happy! He's excited about and I can say the staff is very nurturing and proactive.

I have no clue why my sons picture is my avatar so I apologIze.nnAfter struggling in public school I decided to look for an alternative. My friend recommended Palladin and I went to take a tour without my son. The minute I walked in the door I knew it was the right school and choice.nIt’s a very peaceful place. When you walk in the doors you feel calm and comfortable. I took my son on a tour the following week and he asked me if it could be his school. He started in 3rd grade Struggling to read and attend. He’s in 4th grade now and WHAT A DIFFERENCE. I am so grateful for programs like Palladin Where they understand every child learns differently.nnThe staff and teachers are amazing. They wear a lot of hats and do a great job holding it together. My son is thriving at Palladin not only emotionally but educationally too. While it’s not as workload heavy as public school I love that I have time to enjoy my son without added stress of tons of work. I get to come home and read with him and the Palladin environment lends itself to a smoother day.nnI highly recommend Palladin and am grateful for their help

Best thing ever happened in my life was to find this school! The principal and all staff are amazing! They care as if they were family! So clean ! Structure! small groups are just perfect! Great clubs! Super safe! And every one is treated equally, zero discrimination! This School is a blessing! Thanks to all staff! Congratulations for archiving educational and emotional excellence!

Great school and friendly environment. Staff is extremely helpful and professioonal. My son is a new person because of Paladin. They actually care!

If you have a child with special needs or any learning disability DO NOT send them to this school. We were at first so excited to enroll our daughter to start middle school in Paladin, mainly because the director seemed nice, the school was small and easy to navigate and in our case because we thought they have good music program and before enrolling her we told the director how she is musically talented and that’s why we chose this school. She never bothered to tell us that they would not give her any classes in music until high school, I found out after we got her curriculum.nOur daughter has autism but was fully mainstreamed for the last two years in elementary public school with only an aide provided by the school without any problems, at Paladin they put her in the VE class (performing low academically) and WE PROVIDED a private therapist ourselves at all times and yet in less than 2 weeks after the school started they said they can’t manage her, which now is not surprising to me since I found out how understaffed and incompetent they are. They were so incompetent that they even suggested she should not go to the “field trip” which was going to the local “Sweet Tomatoes restaurant” with the objective of teaching them “Life Skills!” despite her therapist being with her. We go to restaurants all the time with her without any problems and our therapist came home telling us all went well. Later we get a call from the director telling us she grabbed a cell phone from a peer in the bus (big deal!!!), grabbed a muffin from another child and would not stay seated and therefore she should not some back until we have a solid plan. Well, needless to say I won’t send her back at all to a school that supposedly wants to teach them “life skills” at the restaurant and yet wants them to be perfectly behaved right from the beginning!nNow we are taking her out knowing they do less then minimum effort to adjust to different kids with different abilities. Now we know that public schools are a better choice for special needs kids than private schools, after all public schools have IEP’s to follow and adjust.
