We Build Brilliance
in Our Students
By Julie M. Armenta,
M.A. Educational & Family Specialist
ALA provides daily interactive workshops
and monthly guest speakers to reach
your child’s full learning potential.
We nurture each student’s interests,
talents, and strengths as well as
fill in those gaps to build a strong,
academic foundation. Students love
ALA because it is small, nurturing,
specialized, and individualized. Some
of ALA’s favorite enrichment
courses are Photography, Computers,
Foreign Languages, Pet Education,
and more. We are consistently adding
new courses to ALA to meet the needs
of your child.
Most students at ALA can accelerate
and advance rather quickly. Whether
they are behind and need to catch
up or are gifted and need to be challenged,
we move at the child’s own learning
pace.
Children do not do busy work. If
the child learns the given work, we
move on. We have the flexibility to
be creative with your child and use
hands on, kinesthetic approach for
authentic learning. We determine the
learning style of your child and teach
to their needs, whether it is auditory,
visual, etc. Most children complete
all work in a 4 to 5 hour school day
with very little homework. This is
less stress for the students and the
parents. If the parents wish for homework,
we will provide studies or enrichment
as needed.
At ALA respect is enforced daily.
Students learn values, morals, and
manners, as well as personal hygiene,
respect and more. At ALA we also provide
social skills classes and self-esteem
building workshops. Parent & family
counseling and support are also provided.
There are internships and job skills
programs where the children can learn
responsibility within the community.
Teachers at ALA all currently have
degrees or are pursuing one. Most
are credentialed in Special Education
or Standard Education. All teachers
are experienced with expertise in
this field and are highly skilled.
Students are matched with the best
teacher to fit their needs or may
have several throughout the day.
ALA is open from 8 am - 3 pm for
school hours However, we offer flexible
hours to best meet the needs of the
students and their families. After
school tutoring, study hall and workshops
are also available from 3-8 pm. We
set the best hours for you and your
child and for your convenience, we
are open 7 days a week.
ALA has a small class size with an
average of 10-15 students at one time.
We provide 6:1 ratio and provide 1:1
as needed throughout the day for all
students. We are K-12 educational
program, and we follow state standards
and regulations. Some students will
be on a district, county, or private
curriculum. It is decided what is
best for the child and the family
by Ms. Armenta, and the parents. ALA
provides daily updates and communication
with the parents which also creates
a successful outcome with the student
and their family.
