Mission & Philosophy

WHO We Are

KORE Academy is a happy place of learning where every student, in grades 1-12, reaches his/her potential and finds his/her place in the world beyond.

WHAT We Do

KORE Academy exists to support and empower students by embracing a unique educational journey due to identified and suspected learning differences. Building on a student’s strengths and individualizing instruction, KORE Academy searches for the key that unlocks learning for each individual student in partnership with each student’s parents. KORE students are accepted and challenged, thus ensuring that they thrive to the best of their ability when transitioning from our program.

WHO We Strive To Be

It is the vision of KORE Academy to become a premiere, harmonious, and high-functioning organization that champions the learning of students with learning differences, the students’ future places in society, and the students’ families. We would like to become a “city on a hill” that other schools look towards for what works with our distinct population.
