About Us
What makes ILA different?
ILA can be thought of as a modern reimagining of the one-room schoolhouse. At Integrative Learning Academy, students of multiple ages and grade levels learn together in a collaborative environment where flexibility is built into the structure of the day.
This model allows us to group students fluidly—by age, ability, or instructional need—without stigma or disruption. Small class sizes and consistent teachers over multiple years foster a strong sense of safety, belonging, and trust. Our intentionally home-like classroom environment helps students feel comfortable, secure, and ready to learn, creating the close-knit, relationship-driven atmosphere that defines ILA.
How do you provide an inclusive environment?
ILA is designed to empower all learners. We recognize that education is not one-size-fits-all, and we intentionally serve both neurotypical and neurodiverse students.
Our learning community includes students with a range of needs, including ADD/ADHD, dyslexia, twice-exceptionality, and high-functioning autism. Instruction is delivered in a setting that prioritizes engagement, adaptive expectations, choice, movement, appropriate risk-taking, and the development of self-esteem.
In addition to academic learning, we intentionally foster social-emotional growth, life skills, problem-solving, self-advocacy, self-regulation, and imagination. When appropriate, students may also receive support through our contracted service providers, including ABA therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and speech therapy, integrated thoughtfully into the school environment.
How do you protect and honor childhood?
At Integrative Learning Academy, we believe childhood is not something to rush through—it is something to honor.
Our shortened school day (8:30 a.m.–2:00 p.m.) and four-day school week (Monday–Thursday) are intentionally designed to allow students time to play, explore interests, connect with family, and engage with the world around them. We place a strong emphasis on outdoor play, exploration, imagination, and curiosity.
By protecting time for rest, play, and creativity, we support students’ emotional health and overall development, allowing them to grow at a pace that is both healthy and sustainable.
