It is with extreme pleasure that I take this time to thank you so very much for accepting James into your program. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and all the information Ms. Booth presented. Your school is unique in many ways. Here is a highlight of my impressions:
“The Education Academy is a very special, unique school that is enriched with a dedicated staff as well as many multi-sensory materials and technology. It is a very therapeutic environment, which is highly structured, supportive, and safe. The school is bright, cheerful and well organized. It presents as a very nurturing and caring environment. The behavioral intervention program is filled with an array of incentives that spark student’s interest. What impressed me the most is the rapport that is established with the children. Ms. Booth during the visit was highly engaging with my student and made every effort to actively include him when talking about the program. This is a plus and it was very apparent that this same kind of rapport continues each and every day. It is a school that promotes a positive learning experience where the children can achieve not only academic success but can grow socially and emotionally. It brings hope to parents and encourages transition back to the public school setting.”

Before Mr. Lewis created The Education Academy, he was a teacher, principal, and a superintendent in public elementary schools in New Jersey for 32 years. Now as a second career, Mr. Lewis runs The Education Academy, a school for K to 8 students.
When The Education Academy first opened in July 8, 1992, it only had 5 students. Now the school has 54 students. The Education Academy is a very successful school, being run by a very successful man, my principal, Mr. Lewis.”
