C/A is a unique and inspiring school!
Founded 22 years ago on the fundamental belief that bright students with ADHD and mild learning differences can perform at the highest levels when presented with a strong, engaging, and responsive program, Commonwealth has since provided its students with a balanced and individualized college preparatory experience.
Focused on authentic learning experiences, inquiry, and on the executive function mechanics necessary for successful learning, our program is designed to help our students develop a strong sense of self and of the world around them in a safe environment.
We believe that to educate the mind, we also need to nurture the heart. We have created a space where challenging academic programs, strong relationships, and a highly responsive approach to the student experience intertwine. Our teachers are passionate experts in their field and are fiercely dedicated to the young people in their care.

Commonwealth Academy Reviews
Incredibly, this school has maintained consistency and structure. My daughter is online from 7:45 a.m. to noon for core classes with her teachers and classmates. Nearly all of the learning is based in Google Classroom, so there’s hardly any frustration hunting through different platforms.
Art and engineering specials have continued on a more flexible time frame and there’s still a requirement for daily P.E. More importantly, C/A has been creative and effective and maintaining its sense of community, with various challenges and spirit weeks and opportunities to connect.
We feel this school is worth every penny. It’s worth your time to visit if you have a child with ADHD and anxiety.
