academics + student life
Students of Heron School thrive through individualized, project-based curriculum that is developed around their strengths and interests. Driven by instructional scaffolding, Heron School supports students to participate in college-level coursework opportunities and guides students to be ready for independent living after graduation. Heron School students may struggle in the public school system setting socially, emotionally, and academically due to their unique gifts and neurodiversity…which is why Heron School utilizes a variety of classroom experiences such as one on one instruction, small classes with a 6:1 ratio, project-based courses, online coursework with oversight and facilitation, and an educational setting with minimal external stimulation.
