Mill Springs Academy's Communication Arts Community serves students in grades 6 through 12 who experience difficulty with verbal and non-verbal social cues. The Communication Arts program provides students with smaller advisories where teachers provide explicit instruction in the areas of perspective-taking, age-appropriate emotional responses, self-advocacy, social conflict, and self-awareness, as well as strategies for recognizing and alleviating stress, frustration, anger, anxiety, and lack of focus. Communication Arts students have smaller advisories, but they share social events, core academic classes, and elective classes with all Upper and Middle School students.

Our daughter was really struggling academically and socially and this last week I have picked her up each day and she has had the BIGGEST smile on her face and has talked nonstop on the way home!!! She is LOVING it at MSA and we have you and all the wonderful MSA staff to thank for such a fantastic start.
