About Us:

Located in the heart of Lincoln Center-NYC, Academics West is a high-support college preparatory program that services up to 80 students from kindergarten through 12th grade who exhibit social emotional challenges and/or learning differences. Our small student-to-teacher ratio (typically 5:1:1 but can be slightly higher) allows us to work more intensively with students, achieving positive outcomes. Clinically Informed Academics (CIA) is an approach infused throughout the curriculum that considers the whole student to formulate effective individualized learning strategies. This approach combines clinical knowledge with academic interventions to help students improve beyond what traditional methods can achieve.
