FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FOR ARMENTA LEARNING ACADEMY

                        A. An academy is more than a school, in that it offers all educational programs, schooling, tutoring, workshops, study hall, etc. We take all ages K-adult and offer individualized education tailored to each student's needs, seven days a week, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.  upon availability.                 

                        A. After being a teacher in both public and private schools, I found a real need for students to get a program that works for them rather than failing at a general program that doesn't fit their needs. The public schools do what they can, but so many students are not getting the education they need and deserve. There is no other program out there that does what we do. We have families that drive a good distance for our programs.  We have been in business for 35 years.               

                        A. We have been in business since 1989.  Nearly 35 years of Success!             

                        A. Our mission is to inspire, empower, motivate, and educate students and reach them not only academically, but through the “whole child” to teach them to be a success.  We want to help students succeed not only with school, but at home and in the community.                

                        A. We have between 6 and 10 students on the premises at any given time, depending on the day and schedule. We provide a 4:1 classroom ratio and we work 1:1 with children as needed throughout the school day. Our ratio is much smaller for our after school tutoring programs depending on the needs of the student.  We teach all ages and grade levels Pre-K through adult.               

                        A. We offer programs for accelerated studies, early graduation, mentoring, counseling, speech, pragmatics, executive functioning, neurofeedback, social skills classes, guest speakers, peer support, life skills and job skills workshops, home school support and after school enrichment programs, as well as special needs and gifted programs.                  

                        A. Yes our tutors are available from 8 am to 8 pm.  7 days a week upon availabilty.               

                        A. Our fees are $65 per hour for group tutoring and $85 per hour for one on one tutoring with ALA staff.  Our Neurofeedback Program is $200 per session. Specialized Classes, counseling and Workshops with Mrs. Armenta are $125 per hour. The fees for the school vary case by case, since each program is individually tailored for each student. We don't set those fees until we speak with the parent and student in depth to determine the best program for each student. Sibling Discounts, Pre Payment Discounts, and Special Offers are offered, inquire within.                    

                        A. The Pet academy was founded to provide therapy for children and animals. Putting the two together has a way to heal the hearts of both the dogs and the children especially our special needs children. We also train dogs and teach children how to work with pets and be responsible for them. I have always loved children and animals, since I was a small child myself.  Training sessions are $125 per hour. We recommend between 6 to 8 sessions but could require more.                 

                        A. I am involved with several organizations, such as Council for Exceptional Children, Council for Children with Behavioral Disorders, Council for Special Education Administrators, the Council of Division of Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Exceptional Learners, and Association for Dyslexia and Autism. I love to go to other schools or community events and speak to families and students as much as I can about the importance of school, family and community. Currently, I am finishing my book Success for Every Child, (The parent manual we have all been waiting for.) This book will show parents how to create success for all children, such as coping with learning challenges, obesity, only child, and more.
