One of the many things that makes CLASS Academics a unique place to learn is our team of caring and knowledgeable educators. We take the time to get to know our students so that we can understand their learning styles and interests in order to better drive our instruction.
At CLASS Academics, we hold our services to the highest regard. Our staff members are carefully selected and must complete intensive training, which focus on the whole child and developmentally appropriate practices that are both research-based and promote multi-sensory learning.
All of our staff members are either credentialed teachers, working towards obtaining their teaching credential, or are in a related field (such as Educational Psychology, Speech & Language Therapy, Occupational Therapy, etc.).
In addition, CLASS Academics ensures that all staff members meet the following requirements:
fingerprinted through the Department of Justice
trained and certified in CPR
