Mission Statement

MISSION: APL's mission is to provide an innovative and transformational K-12 learning community that empowers neurodivergent students. VALUES: APL is committed to fostering an inclusive atmosphere where all students feel a sense of belonging, feel that they can be exactly who they are, and are actively engaged in their learning community.

Description

We recognize that every individual possesses a unique set of talents and capabilities, and it is our responsibility to foster an environment that not only acknowledges this diversity, but celebrates it.

APL is dedicated to empowering our students in defining and achieving their aspirations for a fulfilling life. We foster a community that advocates for individual voices, promotes agency, and cultivates essential skills for independent living. We believe in nurturing meaningful relationships and embracing the richness of neurodiversity.

Together, we celebrate the uniqueness of each student, supporting their journey toward a purposeful and successful future. We are currently only able to have volunteers who have a SS# and who reside in the US, due to our school privacy practices.
