Who We Are
Harbor Leadership Academy is an independent, specialized school located in the Northwest Suburbs of Austin Texas. Our program is ideal for students with mild to moderate learning disabilities, dyslexia, and or attention deficit disorder, with or without hyperactivity (ADD or ADHD).
We design personalized education for every student from 5th grade through 12th grade. We have a very low teacher-to-pupil ratio and direct and explicit instruction using multisensory learning techniques and a higher rate of individual attention that is typically found in more traditional settings.
This is NOT a slowed down version of traditional schooling.
There are no reduced expectations of student learning or performance.
Academics
Harbor Academy serves students who need a highly structured, individualized context in which to learn. Our strong academic curriculum includes multisensory teaching methods delivered in small class settings. Students at HLA are able to develop learning styles consistent with the strengths of their own minds through consistent processes and careful observation. We have achieved this goal since we focus on students' gifts and abilities.
Harbor Leadership Academy specializes in instruction for students with mild to moderate Learning Differences, Attention Deficit Disorders (ADD & ADHD), Processing Disorders, Short and Long Term Memory Challenges, Retrieval Issues and Dysgraphia.
Prior to each school year, each students' course schedule is individually prepared based on the students' current levels in each area and the students' goals.
Work/Study Curriculum
Harbor Leadership Academy offers a comprehensive academic program, from developing essential fundamental and reasoning skills in our elementary students, to providing the highest levels of instruction to our high school students that gives them a competitive advantage in the college application process. Small classes and individualized instruction and curriculum provide a non-threatening learning environment that makes learning Harbor students. As a result, our students have an opportunity to attain greater levels of understanding, which generally enables them to achieve outstanding scores on standardized examinations relative to state and national averages
