Yellow Wood Academy’s Academics
At Yellow Wood Academy, we provide a fully personalized learning experience tailored to each student’s pace—whether they are ahead, behind, or right on track. Our private school offers a strong foundation in Math, Science, English, and Social Studies, ensuring students build the core academic skills needed for long-term success.
Our dedicated student support team designs individualized academic plans, while teachers customize daily lessons to meet each student’s unique learning needs. Whether a student is an enthusiastic learner or needs extra support, our one-on-one instruction ensures traditional subjects become engaging and meaningful. If a student misses a session, their customized program will be ready when they return—no falling behind.
Yellow Wood Academy offers flexible class options to fit every schedule. Students can enroll full-time, part-time, or receive individual tutoring, either online or in-person. We offer multiple course levels—Foundation, Standard, Honors, and AP—to match each learner’s academic goals.
What makes Yellow Wood Academy truly unique is our commitment to Standards-Based Grading (SBG). Instead of focusing on test scores or point accumulation, SBG emphasizes skill mastery over time. This approach fosters continuous growth, encourages students to self-assess, and empowers them to take ownership of their learning journey. Together with their instructor, each student co-creates a meaningful and personalized educational experience.

A Culture of We - Social & Emotional Learning
At Yellow Wood Academy, education goes beyond textbooks and tests. Our holistic approach focuses on the complete development of each student—academically, socially, and emotionally. Through personalized learning programs and a nurturing environment, we empower students to reach their full potential and grow into confident, capable individuals.
We believe that learning is a collaborative journey. That’s why community is at the heart of everything we do. From homerooms and school-wide projects to clubs and group discussions, our students engage in meaningful peer interactions that promote empathy, respect, and emotional intelligence.
By fostering a strong sense of belonging and connection, we help students develop the social and emotional skills they need to succeed—not just in school, but in life. At Yellow Wood Academy, we prepare students to thrive in an increasingly interconnected and diverse world.

All-School Events
Throughout the School Year
Our wide range of school events, such as International Day, STEM fair, Health Fair, and Field Day, not only enhance academic learning but also foster social and emotional growth. Most of our events are student led by individuals or in one of our clubs like Student Government. These gatherings offer students chances to connect with peers from different backgrounds, nurture empathy through cultural exchange, develop teamwork and problem-solving abilities, and celebrate accomplishments. As a result, they contribute to creating a vibrant and nurturing school community where each individual feels appreciated and empowered.
