Our mission is to empower students, who do not succeed in traditional school settings, to graduate from our ownership-based school with their diploma and plans for a future. The Plaza Academy provides a safe and open environment where students can truly be themselves and thrive in our academic, therapeutic, civic, and social education program to become college-ready lifelong learners and positive contributors to society.

“(My son) has been enrolled in three different schools in the past two years and he has showed no interest in any of the schools… He seems very interested in attending Plaza Academy, when he comes home it seems to be all that he can talk about. He seems so excited about attending school now and its is very surprising to me because before he could care less about school. He has been going to bed early to make sure that he’s up and ready for school every morning. He is even taking forth the effort of getting himself up in the morning and making sure that he has transportation to school.”
