Founded in 2007, APL is an inclusive K-12 school serving neurodiverse learners in an inclusive, academically challenging, and socially vibrant environment. 

Our Model

APL pairs personalized education with behavioral supports, including ABA therapy, right inside the classroom setting. 

APL is the independent neighborhood school for learners seeking a personalized education. Class sizes are small. The overall student body is not more than 12 learners per grade level. Providing K-12 education creates time and space for learners to root and grow throughout their primary and secondary years. The urban environment promotes community engagement and skill practice.

APL provides a high staff to student ratio. This way, all learners can easily access individualized support as needed, in a social context. Teachers, BCBAs, and families work together to prioritize instructional targets. As much as possible, instruction on individual targets happens in the classroom, supporting each learner to participate meaningfully in group learning.

APL is a tightly knit community. This includes families as well as learners. Community building doesn't stop after the school day. After school clubs, parent events, and volunteer opportunities augment student life and family connections.
