Our students will tell you that learning at Commonwealth Academy is a joyful experience—one that has positively impacted and transformed their lives.

As a leader in differentiated instruction for students with ADHD, executive functioning challenges and mild learning differences, the staff and faculty at Commonwealth Academy bring equal parts expertise and compassion to the work they do. With an emphasis on college prep, the school empowers students to fully explore their intellectual passions and potential while fostering the growth that enables them to excel at present and in the future. 

This tight-knit community allows for the types of learning environments, relationships and opportunities where students are seen and supported.  “We see the value, spark and promise in every young person we have the pleasure to know,” says Anabelle C. Morgan, head of school.

The school was founded on the fundamental belief that bright students who learn differently can perform at the highest levels when presented with a strong, engaging and responsive program. For more than 25 years, they have delivered on that promise and provided students with an unparalleled college preparatory experience that is as empowering as it is educational.

“Our students will tell you that learning at Commonwealth Academy is a joyful experience,” says Morgan, “one that has positively impacted and transformed their lives. We think that has a lot to do with our belief that educating the mind is also about nurturing the heart. Our teachers are passionate experts in their fields and fiercely dedicated to the young people in their care. In turn, our students—full of promise and positive energy—step into their curiosities and creativity and value those of their peers.”
