Dear Families and Staff of The Children’s Hour Academy,
Victory Academy expresses its deepest thanks and appreciation to all of you at the Meridian Campus for sharing your school with us and for warmly welcoming our students, staff, and families.
Victory Academy is the first school of its kind in the greater Portland-metro area that offers a comprehensive education to children with unique learning differences, including Autism Spectrum and related disorders. We provide challenging academics to elementary-aged children (Kindergarten through Third Grade), integrating proven, research-based therapeutic strategies into every learning task. We are unique from the public school settings, as we offer year-round school at 7.5 hours per day, low student to teacher ratio (8:3), customized education plans carefully crafted by a highly qualified team of teachers and therapists. We also offer additional therapies to our students, including occupational and music therapy, targeted literacy instruction, social skills, daily living practice, and language and communication. Currently, there is no model like this in Oregon for these ages of students. Victory Academy is founded by educators and parents of children with ASD; they believe that we can and must do better for the children of our community.
Victory Academy currently enrolls eight students and has one lead teacher, Miss Ashley, and three teacher’s assistants, Miss Tiffanie, Ms. Janet, and Ms. Jen. Victory Academy’s Directors are Ms. Tricia and Ms. Thea. Our students receive most of their instruction in Room 112 and will share lunch, recess, and chapel times with The Children’s Hour Academy. We hope to join and support many of The Children’s Hour Academy’s special events, starting with October’s Pumpkin Patch Trip.
We welcome any of your questions or thoughts as we begin the 2009-2010 school year. We are quite excited and a bit anxious too!
Again, we thank all of you for offering us this tremendous opportunity to join a thriving school. While we operate separately from The Children’s Hour Academy, our visions are very much the same.
With Gratitude,
Tricia Hasbrook and Thea Schreiber
Directors, Victory Academy
