Academics
When students arrive at Tipton Academy they typically have
not been doing very well in school and many are behind in their school work.
The major part of the day is spent doing school work; each student will have
to complete their assignments with at least a "B" or 80% proficiency to move
to the next assignment. This will help when the child is ready to come home
and make the transition back into life at home, and their previous school.
School work is accredited through the Waconda School District 272, and the Smoky Hills Education Service Center. This is an advantage
over other schools of this type. Academics transfer very easily from one
school district to another with no worry about the acceptance of curriculum
from an outside education source. School work will be done mostly on line,
with the assistance of a teacher in the classroom. There will be one
computer for every two students
When your son returns home he should be back on track academically, maybe even a little ahead of where he is supposed to be. Of course there are exceptions to every rule and there is a small percentage of youth that will never make changes. There are also those who will go beyond what is expected.
We have certified and licensed teachers on staff to assist your son with his school work. If he doesn't succeed we don't succeed.
