Friday Feature: Soar Academy
Colleen HroncichIf you ’re designing a school for kids who have been left behind, you ’re going to need flexibility, an individualized approach, and a willingness to go at different paces. That ’s exactly what Kenisha Skaggs has created with Soar Academy in Augusta, Georgia.Kenisha worked at a tutoring center, but the methods they used weren ’t working. In 2010, she began tutoring students in her home after school. Parents liked the customized multi‐sensory approach she used—which she mainly learned from her mom homeschooling her in high school. Some parents asked her to homeschool their child...

She would focus on children with behavioral problems who are not served well by public schools.Dr. Sanders openedSafari Small Schools on March 1, 2020 —right as COVID-19 was beginning to disrupt education.

You threw out the idea of intensive early intervention as one option for improving the learning outcomes of children with Down Syndrome. Not only do I agree, but we actually have already seen the tremendous positive impact of early intervention (in these) children.
If I had Down Syndrome when I was born 50 years ago, it is highly likely that I would h...
