Excellent all the way around. Caring and supportive administration, teachers who go above and beyond understanding your child in conjunction with strong academics. This is truly a "community school." If you have a child with a learning difference RUN to this school. It is truly awesome.
A school for kids with learning differences, where the kids are just dying to get there in the morning - that is something to support and sit up and take notice of.I love it! We have completed another year of school and I wanted you to know that I have been very happy with the progress that my daughter has made this year.

We follow the TEKS (Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills) curriculum standards; however, we accommodate the curriculum to fit each student's individual learning styles. Great Lakes Academy has rolling admissions, and a child may be admitted at any time during the school year. Our goal is to help each child work toward his or her individual potential, enjoy learning, and develop their social skills to help them better function in today's world.
Who we can help
Report
GLA's belief is that each student's intellectual, emotional and social development are interrelated. This individual path to development is best nurtured in small classes with a focus on community, taught by encouraging adults who see the best in each student. Many students at Great Lakes have struggled socially, emotionally, or academically in traditional schools that considered them "at risk."
