Focus Day School
We provide a supportive and inclusive environment where students can grow academically, socially, and emotionally. Our mission is to create a space where each child’s unique strengths are celebrated, and where students are provided with the tools they need to succeed both in school and beyond.
Incorporating Drama Therapy into the experiences of our students is another powerful element of our approach. By using drama techniques—such as role-playing, improvisation, and storytelling — students have the opportunity to express themselves, explore emotions, and develop critical social skills in a safe and creative environment. Drama therapy not only supports students’
emotional well-being but also enhances their ability to communicate, build empathy, and work collaboratively. This expressive outlet helps students navigate their social and academic challenges, improving both their confidence and interpersonal connections.
By integrating innovative educational strategies and a holistic approach, we foster self-confidence, resilience, and independence in every student. Our goal is to develop well-rounded individuals who are prepared for success in all aspects of life.
History
Focus Day School is the expansion of the highly successful Focus Academy Charter School.
Established in 2012, Focus Academy is the dream of a small group of parents of children with special needs.
The founding parents envisioned a school where their children would be valued and supported. Creating a school environment where their children would be prepared for academic, social and workplace success was their ultimate goal. By partnering with professionals in the educational and therapeutic communities their dream became a reality.
