Academics
Overview
KORE Academy is an independent school currently serving students in grades K-12 who learn differently. Our program is highly structured to provide individualized instruction geared to meet each student’s needs. Many of our students arrive frustrated from a lack of success in a traditional school setting. Within a short time, most students are reinvigorated, both academically and socially. This renewed confidence enables students to exceed expectations!

1:1 Technology Program
In our elementary classes, each student has been assigned an iPad or Chromebook for the school year. In our middle school classes, each student has been assigned a Chromebook for the school year. Our goals are to provide our youngest students with technological literacy, to provide an active learning environment, and to use technology to differentiate and individualize the learning.
Specialized Reading Program and Intervention
The KORE Academy reading specialists work with students with language-based learning issues in one-on-one sessions and in groups using a variety of curriculum-based reading interventions such as modified Orton-Gillingham strategies, Reading Recovery, Reading Mastery, Explode the Code, and Read180.
