Straight "A" Academy is a formally recognized PRIVATE SCHOOL!

Mass education (whether public or private) serves an important function in society.  However, making children fit into a pre-set curriculum runs counter to our philosophy.  We believe in training the whole child and in building a curriculum around each individual student.  Every child learns at his/her own pace.  So, not only should no child be left behind, no child should be held back from achieving as much as he/she can as quickly as he/she desires!

We know that EVERY CHILD can succeed when placed in the right environment.  The Straight "A" Method combines the best features of modern technology, pedagogy and methodologies with the age-old and proven advantages of private tutelage.  We are interviewing candidates and families for ages 11 - 18 for our Day School.  For more information and a private consultation, please fill out the Student Services Request Form below.
STRAIGHT "A" ACADEMY  PROUDLY UNVEILS
THE MOST EXCLUSIVE AND COMPREHENSIVE
EDUCATION AVAILABLE ANYWHERE
We provide an education that is Elite, NOT Elitist.
Phillips Academy and Derryfield School are outstanding institutions, but they are designed, like most schools, for educating larger numbers of children.  History's greatest talents, however, were developed by private tutors.  Straight "A" Academy offers the most unique, comprehensive education available through a system of tutelage.  Straight "A" Academy will assign a maximum of 4 pupils to an academic tutor.  For less tuition than the aforementioned institutions, our students will be trained in classical, core academics and given the following opportunities...

- Musical Instrument - Private and Group Voice - Hand-bell Choir

- Semi-Private Tennis, Racquetball and/or Squash - Swimming

- Self-Defense - Ballet (for girls) - Computers - Theatre

Music for pure joy! Swimming for a strong cardiovascular system. Ballet teaches poise, grace and self-confidence.  Karate teaches respect and self-confidence. Bell Choir teaches teamwork. Tennis for hand-eye coordination and agility. Collaborating on a hotel rooftop in Madrid, Spain.  International travel for world-class students.

Starting in the 9th grade, students will begin learning a third language (French, Chinese, Italian or German).  Many other unique learning opportunities will be offered.  The Straight "A" method also offers ample, healthy, age-integrated, real-world social interaction, not the artificial pecking-order of mass education institutions.  The Staff will work cooperatively with the parents and students to develop an individually-tailored education plan with clear, measurable objectives.  In order to initiate the application process, please fill out the Student Services Request Form 
below, or email the Director at donFelix@straighta.com.

"Education is more an art than it is a science.  Each child is either a masterpiece in the making, or a mere outline of what might have been."    
                     Felix Alvarado, Jr., Director, Straight "A" Academy

Need-based scholarships are available and will be considered on a case-by-case basis.  If the family, student and Straight "A" Directors all agree that Straight "A" Academy is the right environment for the student, then money should not be an obstacle!
