SESI broadens mission of supporting more students through specialized education and therapeutic services

PHILADELPHIA, June 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Specialized Education Services, Inc. (SESI), a division of FullBloom, a premier provider of education services for K-12 students requiring additional educational and behavioral supports, announced the acquisition of two Lexington Life Academy locations in Arizona. These schools, located in the greater Phoenix area, serve students with autism through evidence-based practices, structured learning, standards-based curriculum, sensory integration, and behavior modification.

The addition of Lexington Life Academy campuses (Gateway and South Mountain) is part of SESI’s strategic growth plan to expand its reach and provide critical support to more students and families across Arizona. Lexington Life Academy specializes in personalized educational experiences tailored to the individual needs, interests, and strengths of each student. Now as part of SESI, the schools will gain access to additional resources and expertise to enhance their education and support services.

Lexington Life Academy will continue to accept the ESA Universal Scholarship, making quality education accessible to all. This scholarship assists Arizona families with children who have special needs, such as autism, by securing funding for their education.

“Since its inception nearly a decade ago, Lexington Life Academy has developed a reputation for celebrating student individuality and empowering young people to excel,” said Dawn Thomas, president of SESI. “We are excited to have the dedicated Lexington Life staff join us as we work to support more students who require specialized academic, emotional, and behavioral support.”

Founded in 2015, Lexington Life Academy has been a valuable resource for its communities, providing specialized education for K-12 students with autism. SESI leadership will continue to support the schools in their mission of empowering students with the skills needed to excel in life.
