An Alternative School for Children with Individualized Educational Programs
Our Mission Statement
As an alternative school for children with special needs, we are fully dedicated to guiding our students toward cultivating a mindset of lifelong learning and toward helping them reach their full potential by providing academic, vocational, social, and behavioral programs fit to their individual needs.
Our Vision Statement
We aim to inspire our students to pursue learning for a lifetime. With the help of a team of professionals, area organizations, community providers, and corporate sponsors, YES Academy works in tandem to make learning culturally responsive and engaging in every way imaginable.
Your Educational Success (YES) is an alternative private special education school for students with IEPs or Individualized Educational Programs. The concept for YES Academy resulted from the success of YSET Academy http://www.yset.org which was founded in 2003. Students and families who prefer an out-of-school district placement find in us the less restrictive learning setting enhanced with various academic, vocational, social, and behavioral programs and workshops all aligned to Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks. Students with special education needs, especially those who are identified with Emotional Disability (ED), Specific Learning Disability (SLD), Intellectual Disability (InD), Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), and Other Health Impairments (OHI) are provided with hands-on programs designed to produce overall academic, social, and emotional success.
Your Educational Success also believes in health and wellness as a component of a healthy mind and a healthy body, which is why we also incorporate fruits and vegetables during meal time and provide opportunities for physical activities throughout the day. Overall, our overarching goal is to provide academic and behavioral services that enable each child to develop to their full potential based on their individual strengths and talents.
