Our Academic
Secondary School

Because teens need more than just lessons — they need direction, dignity, and a different kind of school.

Because mainstream systems aren’t designed for minds that move differently — but SK is.

For the artist. The thinker. The overwhelmed. The curious. The “I’m-done-with-school” kid.

No one is ever too late for the right kind of learning.

Not at all. We’re a full-fledged school with soul — not a clinic with worksheets.

In most “inclusive” setups, your child still has to adapt. Here, the system adapts to them.

Absolutely. Masking is not success — it’s survival.

We honour both sides of the gift — and the struggle.

To create a future where neurodivergent teens don’t just cope — they lead.

Gently. Consistently. With deep respect.

Absolutely — and it’s designed to make sense to neurodivergent teens.

Yes — for those who are ready and interested.

We don’t just “adapt” a regular curriculum — we built one from scratch.

It’s learning that prepares teens for life — not just for exams.

SMART is our secret sauce — and it’s not just screens.

Whatever works for your child — from AAC to AR.

Yes, with purpose and support.

Because learning sticks when it’s felt.

It’s learning by doing — and creating something real.

Then we throw the worksheets out.

Real life — and if exams are part of that path, we help them get there.

Yes — because food is one of our richest learning tools.

Because stories teach better than lectures.

Yes — and we teach it in ways that click.

We don’t just give answers — we ask great questions.

Because like J. Krishnamurti said, education isn’t about what to think — but how to think.

When the brain is engaged emotionally, learning sticks.

The real risk is ignoring how your child’s brain actually learns.

Yes — we build rhythm, not chaos.

Because learning should prepare them for life, not just for tests.

Because teens who’ve been misunderstood don’t need more correction — they need connection.

It’s the difference between survival and growth.

Less shouting. More listening. No shame.

Because you can’t give what you’ve never received.

Especially then.

By never forcing trust — and always earning it.

Predictable, purposeful, and full of little wins.

Because that’s how teens actually learn — through what lights them up.

Enough structure to feel safe. Enough flexibility to feel free.

Typically 1:3 or 1:4 — so no one gets lost in the crowd.

Both — depending on what helps them thrive.

From sketching to screen-printing — and beyond.

We follow the spark.

Calming, creative, and sensory-wise.

Not with punishments — with presence.

We don’t panic. We don’t punish. We connect.

Yes — and it’s a teen favourite.

We don’t just teach safety — we become it.

Yes — sometimes for the first time ever.

That’s perfectly okay.

Through real moments, not lectures.

With utmost care — always.

Yes — fully, respectfully, and with pride.

We don’t just count marks — we notice momentum.

We track what really matters — even if it doesn’t fit in a report card.

Yes — and not just once a term.

Absolutely — and it’s given equal weight as academics.

Yes — and it’s beautifully holistic.

We look for patterns of capability — not just checkboxes.

Yes — and it’s built into everything we do.

Yes — if that’s where their path leads.

Yes — and we’ll guide the transition.

We build skills, confidence, portfolios — and real experiences.

Yes — but not through pressure or pep talks.

Yes — and you’re not alone in that journey.

You’re not just “informed” — you’re involved, without being overburdened.

Yes — and it’s more heart than handbook.

With care, consent, and conversation.

Yes — we believe the whole family needs to breathe.

Ask more, push less. Reflect more, react less.

It starts with a conversation — not an entrance test.

Yes — but we’re not looking for “scores.”

If we have a space — yes.

We look for openness, safety, and a shared vision.

Fees vary based on support level, program design, and resources.

Right now, SK’s full secondary program is only available onsite.

We’ll never abandon — but we will be honest.
