Exceptional Children

‏‏‎ ‎

Welcome!!! Southern Wake Academy has an excellent reputation for providing a quality education and inclusion for our students with special needs. Once a student with special needs is enrolled, the EC team reviews all documentation shared by the family and previous schools, to include historical documents and IEP documents. If needed, an IEP meeting is scheduled to develop an appropriate plan for each child in cooperation with the student’s parent(s) / guardian(s).

SWA’s Exceptional Children’s program provides services to ensure that all students acquire the cognition, readiness, and character to achieve their learning potential.
