Toward Brighter Horizons

Ocean State Academy specializes in meeting the diverse educational and behavioral needs of K–12+ students (ages 5–21) with psychiatric and social-emotional difficulties. Every day for every student, we concentrate on implementing leading-edge best practices that quickly and effectively guide students to meaningful growth, sustainable success, and student empowerment.

 

School districts and parents throughout Rhode Island can count on us to provide a multifaceted, comprehensive special education program that breaks down barriers to learning, that offers individualized instruction and counseling to target our students’ specific abilities and challenges, and that instills in them both self-accountability for their own decisions and actions along with self-pride in their own accomplishments and positive choices. At Ocean State, we get students on the right path so they can chart their course today for a brighter tomorrow.

Small Class Settings & Class Sizes

With high staff-to-student ratios and small class sizes, we’re able to offer exceptionally individualized and flexible differentiated instruction delivered by qualified and dedicated special education teachers. Additional paraprofessional support in the classroom allows us to closely collaborate with students in reaching their educational benchmarks and attaining their academic and behavioral goals.

Personalized Multimodal Instruction

Our highly adaptable multimodal curriculum applies creative strategies and solutions within a framework of 21st century and blended learning approaches to meet each student at his or her own level and pace, supporting them every step of the way as they achieve critical skills mastery. Incorporating technology when and where it’s most effective further enhances the engaging and productive learning environment.

We equip our students for life after high school with real-world skills for the real-life marketplace. Our robust career readiness program includes continuing education counseling, college prep, job training and coaching, life skills and social skills components, and local community partnerships that expose our students to future options and vocational pursuits.
