Supported Learning Pathways

Every student learns differently. Some need flexibility. Others need structure, targeted support, or a team working together behind the scenes.

At Hemispheres Academy, we offer Supported Learning Pathways—personalized support options designed to help students access their education, build confidence, and make meaningful progress.

Whether your child needs help with reading, organization, academic subjects, or day-to-day support, we’ll work with you to create a plan that fits.

Hemispheres Academy provides curriculum and classes. Our partners provide additional services such as dyslexia support, ADHD and executive function support, and tutoring. While Hemispheres partners with these providers academically, parents will pay the provider directly using personal or SNEA funds.

How It Works

  1. Start with Enrollment
     Your student joins Hemispheres Academy and begins with a flexible, accredited academic program.

  2. Identify Needs
     We get to know your child—their strengths, challenges, and goals. Build a plan using data to include IEPs, testing, and feedback.

  3. Build a Support Plan
     Together, we design a pathway that may include tutoring, coaching, accommodations, or more structured support.

  4. Ongoing Support & Adjustments
     We regularly check in, communicate with families, and adjust the plan as your child grows.
