A Message From Our Founder

Mrs. Julie Armenta shares how we help children with Autism, ADHD, and learning differences build confidence and thrive with individualized teaching.

A school built around how kids actually learn

You're doing everything you can, and your child is still struggling. Homework turns into battles. School meetings raise concerns but offer few answers. Late nights are spent trying to make sense of plans and accommodations, wondering what you're missing. What most families are really looking for is someone who sees their child clearly and knows what to do next.

That's why Armenta exists

For 38 years, parents have found us when traditional school isn’t working. When their child is bright but restless, kind but anxious, or carrying a diagnosis and a stack of reports without a clear path forward. We’re a small academy in Laguna Niguel with classes of four students or fewer. Every child has an individualized program, and teaching is built around how they learn best.

Here’s what happens when you call

You have a real conversation about your child. Academics, emotions, sensory needs, strengths, and challenges. From there, we create a plan that fits your child, whether that includes tutoring, small classes, executive function support, or something else entirely. Your child is met by educators who understand uneven learning, movement needs, and late diagnoses, and who see the whole child, not a label. Over time, school becomes a place your child can succeed, and that shift changes everything at home too.
