Inside Pepin Academies: Tailored Education for Our Special Needs Community

At Pepin Academies, each classroom focuses on special education, providing a supportive environment for students with special needs. All teachers at the school are certified in Exceptional Student Education (ESE) or are working towards this certification, ensuring they meet the educational needs of these students.

The classrooms are designed for small groups, which allows for a lower teacher-to-student ratio. This structure supports personalized attention for each student. Every student has an Individual Education Plan (IEP) that details the specific accommodations and services they require. The school environment is designed to support these needs effectively.

Pepin Academies uses the Brain-Targeted Teaching Model by Dr. Mariale Hardiman, which aims to create a supportive emotional and physical learning environment. The lessons build on students' existing knowledge and focus on mastering content through engaging and constructive methods.

The academy also uses various learning strategies that include visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and tactile elements. Technology is integrated into learning, with each student having access to a device. Differentiated instruction is used to meet individual learning preferences.
