A distinctive learning experience
The Pinnacle Academy was started in 2001 with a clear vision of a private school that could offer an outstanding education in a structured, yet nurturing atmosphere. Years later, the school offers a private education to over 180 students and continues to grow and change with each passing year. Pinnacle Academy provides its students with the instruction, inspiration and opportunity to learn and achieve at their highest potential. The school is unique among programs of exceptional education in that it offers a blended approach to teaching and thus, is able to adapt to the unique needs of its diverse learners. We are committed to teaching and treating exceptionalities through research-based, best-practice methods. We believe we’ve created an educational community where students feel confident and motivated to learn, where they are understood and empowered, and where parents are taught to turn obstacles into opportunities.
Pinnacle At A Glance
Welcome to our school community.
Since the very beginning, when Pinnacle Academy first opened its doors, it has been my privilege to serve as a Teacher, Director and now Head of School. To help shape a place where students with language and learning differences are truly understood and supported has been an honor.
At the heart of our school are the Core Values that guide everything we do: community, kindness, respect, and gratitude. We believe that learning thrives in an environment where every student feels a genuine sense of belonging. Our community is built on strong relationships and where each individual is seen, heard, and valued.
Our mission is not only to provide exceptional multi-sensory and brain-based academic support but also to empower students with confidence, self-awareness, and resilience. We are proud to nurture learners who understand their strengths, advocate for themselves, and approach the world with empathy and curiosity.

Head of School
Our school is supported by a very active and thriving Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) that plays an essential role in building community, supporting campus events, and enhancing the student experience. The PTO brings families and staff together through volunteer opportunities, fundraising initiatives, and school-wide activities that strengthen connections across all grade levels.
