Through evidence-based, data-driven instruction that is aligned with your student’s strengths and IEP goals, we meet your student where they are. In other words, we do not tier your student, we tier our supports to uniquely meet your student’s exceptional needs. 

 The Graham Academy serves students in grades K-8 at our elementary location and students in grades 9-12 at our high school. Strong relationships with our students and families are at the heart of our school. 

 Based on nurturing a positive peer culture, The Graham Academy utilizes a research-based behavioral modification model that cultivates pro-social behaviors and leadership skills through early interventions and tangible rewards. 

 Our students and families benefit from SESI’s Integrated Multi-Tiered Systems of Support that:   

  • Individually support each student’s academic, behavioral, and emotional needs 
  • Prevent barriers to learning in our classroom environments 
  • Connect our team with students, staff, families and district partners to ensure the growth of essential skills outside of the classroom setting 

 By recognizing the unique value and talent of each student, building strong relationships with them and their families, and celebrating their daily successes, we help students who haven’t been able to thrive in a regular classroom setting shine bright at school, at home, and in their communities.
