We are hiring to meet the needs of our expansion! Please check out our open
positions.
The Chase Academy is moving
to a new location & growing from one campus to two!
The Chase Academy is moving from the Reed Canal location in South Daytona to a new customized building adjacent to A Family Church at 920 Beville Road in Datyona. This new site will house offices, six classrooms, plus a science lab!
We will have a gated playground and plenty of parking. This facility will house up to 30 students in grades K-8th. Currently, we have openings in our primary class (1st-3rd) and in our new middle school model
(see details below). Interior construction has also begun on our new Ormond
location, which is located at 499 South Nova Road, and is going to be 50,000
sq ft of children's services, including our new 8,000 sq ft facility. Here we will house the same models as in our Beville
Road location with space for over 60 children, but with the addition of a
large 2,000 sq ft Community Resource Center (CRC)! We are excited about building a resource center in Volusia County for all families dealing with disabilities. We hope this CRC will become a mecca for families like ours so that they can find information, medical and therapeutic referrals, attend trainings, professional workshops and support meetings. This is another dream we
are chasing!
Starting July 22nd, we will be offering families the opportunity to tour our
Beville Road campus every Thursday at 2:00 pm.
We will also be holding parent meetings on July 22nd and July 29th for
families that are interested in enrolling their child at either of our
campuses. Parent meetings will begin at 6:30 pm, and will include a tour of
the Beville Road campus. Applications will be available for parents to
complete. For parents that will be utilizing the McKay Scholarship,
the enrollment deadline is August 2nd in order to have the first quarter
payment made to the Academy.
Here are the 2010-2011 Programs we plan to offer on
our campuses:
Primary Group: Kindergarten/First or PRE-K skills: Certified Teacher and Assistant to six children for a 1:3 ratio; Skill development is 1:1 or 1:2. Tuition is $14,000. (Matrix #254 covers 12,9000 of this.)
Primary groups will be sorted by functioning levels in order to encourage the maximum amount of academic growth; all primary groups will be integrated for common level activities such as morning meeting, arts and crafts, recess, and field trips.
High-functioning Intermediate Group: Grades 2nd- 5th: Certified Teacher to 5 students for a 1:5 ratio; Skill Development is 1:2. Tuition is $12,000. (Matrix #253 covers 10,800 of this.)
High-functioning Junior Group: Grades 6-8th (9, or 10th?): Certified Teacher to 8 students for a 1: 8 ratio; Skill Development is 1:3 or 1:4. Tuition is $8,000. (Matrix #252 covers 7,300 of this.)
The term High-functioning refers to independent skill level and NOT academic skill level within the classroom. Students in the 1:8 group should have an ability to independently complete a task started with the teacher, practice classroom behaviors with a modicum of self-discipline, refrain from aggressive or agitating behaviors towards peers or self, and demonstrate a more mature (less "play" based behaviors) outlook towards interacting with others. These will be students the public school is attempting to mainstream in full or partial capacity. All students will continue to get individual and paired skill development at all levels, and will be assessed and instructed at their own mastery level for each subject, regardless of their academic grade designation.
All programs include weekly Fun Friday
for field trips and social skill development opportunities.
Home-School Inclusion Programming
We are working on a new program for the Fall which includes Home-schooled students in our science experiments & activities, science/social studies exploration outings and
Fun Friday social outings. Home-schooled students will sign up for an annual membership ($50.00) and will be emailed a monthly calendar with planned activities and events. Home-schooled students can then “sign-up” for the activities they are interested in attending.
This will allow all home-based students the opportunity to socialize and become involved in academic-based projects, while offering our students regularly-scheduled access to an inclusive environment and expanded friendships.
