✅ What Makes the School Unique?

SKYUKA HALL is defined by its specialized student population, instructional methodology, and holistic support system:

• Individualized, Research-Based Instruction: The curriculum is traditional but is delivered in a non-traditional, multimodal way that is heavily individualized. Teachers are trained in proven methodologies like the Orton-Gillingham approach (especially for reading and math) to address specific learning challenges.

• Small Class Sizes & Favorable Ratio: Maintains an exceptionally low average class size of 10 students and a highly favorable student-to-faculty ratio (as low as 9:1), ensuring every student receives personalized attention and targeted remediation.

• Holistic Development & SEL: The school integrates Social Emotional Learning (SEL) into the curriculum, focusing on developing essential “durable skills” such as self-advocacy, self-awareness, leadership, and resilience, which are critical for students with learning differences.

• College Preparatory Success: Provides a comprehensive high school curriculum that includes Dual Enrollment opportunities with local colleges and one-on-one college counseling. The school reports a 100% college acceptance rate since its inaugural graduating class.

• Experiential and Project-Based Learning: Instruction is rooted in experiential learning, blending hands-on activities, project-based learning (PBL), and integrated STEAM labs to foster deeper engagement and practical application of knowledge.

• Community Focus: The school fosters a strong, accepting community through its Community Structure (the “Wolf Pack”) to build confidence and ensure students, who may have felt demoralized elsewhere, find a supportive and understanding home.
