This unique environment provides answers and long-term results to girls struggling with:

• LD / NLD

• Dyslexia
• Aspergers Disorder
• High Functioning Autism
• Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
• Dysthymic Disorder
• Depression
• Bi-polar
• Generalized Anxiety

Students find Maple Lake Academy a place that provides positive experiences and challenges that encourage growth in all areas of their life. No two individuals with learning differences are exactly alike and each student is accepted to the academy based on their level of functioning. Hand in hand with dedicated staff trained specifically in working with learning disabilities, students participate in developing a Student Education Plan (SEP) designed to address the academic and emotional areas of concern. The SEP utilizes systematic and strategic interventions developed specifically to meet the student’s unique needs. At the completion of her program, family will have a good understanding of her learning differences and greater awareness of her many strengths and abilities. Skills learned at Maple Lake Academy will be valuable in assisting her in the search for independence, academic success and healthy social relationships.

Students attending Maple Lake Academy will develop new levels of confidence and skills in the academic and social fundamentals that will support them in whatever endeavors they may pursue in the future. During this process of learning and growing, life skills are learned and through the process, healing takes place in personal, social and family relationships.
