The Academy will accept children with other diagnoses if the children's needs can be met, as determined by the initial evaluation. We, at Fireflies Academy, believe that the physical feeds the cognitive. By combining movement, academics, and the arts in a proprietary manner, we enable children to access the lobes of the brain beyond the brain stem for cognitive growth in all areas of development. Our Mission The Fireflies Academy mission is to give children with neurodiversities/Autism/ADHD the tools they need to successfully integrate into society and to live independent lives as adults. We want to help families be able to focus on their children and not their children's symptoms. By reducing symptoms of neurodiversities/Autism/ADHD, we aim to help the families by improving both the present and future quality of life and time together. Mainstreaming is our goal.

I am extremely disappointed with our experience at this school. My son attended this school…read morepreviously, and unfortunately, I feel that he was not given the academic support and preparation he needed. Throughout his time at this school, we were consistently told that he was an "A student" and that he was doing very well academically. However, when he started at his new school, it became very clear that his academic performance did not reflect what we had been led to believe. He was significantly below grade level and struggling with basic skills that he should have already mastered. Now that he is at his new school, he is receiving D's and F's, and we are having to work extremely hard to help him catch up. As a parent, it is heartbreaking and frustrating to realize that these academic gaps were not identified or addressed earlier. I understand that every child learns differently, but schools have a responsibility to accurately assess students' academic progress and provide support when they are struggling. Calling a student an "A student" is not enough if the student is not actually mastering the skills expected for their grade level. My son was promoted without having the academic foundation he needed, and unfortunately, we are now seeing the consequences. I wish we had been given a more honest picture of his academic abilities sooner. Parents deserve transparent communication about their child's progress and whether they are truly prepared for the next grade level.
