Tour The New School: Century Academy Open House Today

August 4, 2016

An open house will be held Thursday at the new Century Academy,  a private, non-profit K-12 school that will specialize in teaching children diagnosed with autism and other related learning disabilities.

Anyone interested in learning more about the school is welcome to attend.

“We are very excited to show the community the wonderful changes to bring this old building back to life and to be able to enrich the Century community. The students will absolutely love the rain forest and ocean themes. It is a beautiful place but one that is carefully designed to enhance the educational experience for children with autism and other learning disorders,” says Barbara Barber, director of Century Academy.

At the present time there are two types of scholarships available, the John McKay scholarship and the Gardiner scholarship.  These scholarships generally cover the cost of tuition for a student attending a private school.  Century Academy is now actively in the second phase of registration for the John McKay scholarship. This scholarship has a September 1 deadline to file an intent notice.

The Century Academy open house will be held 4-7 p.m. Thursday at the school, 440 East Hecker Road.

Parents looking for more information can call (850) 437-5560.
