School Overview

The **Academic Behavior & Community Academy (ABC Academy)**, located at 1416 Maine St in Quincy, Illinois, is a specialized educational program designed to serve students who require more intensive behavioral and social-emotional support than what is typically provided in a traditional classroom setting. Operating under the umbrella of the Quincy Public Schools district, the academy focuses on creating a structured, therapeutic environment where students can address behavioral challenges while continuing their academic progress.

The core mission of the school is to help students develop the coping strategies, self-regulation skills, and social competencies necessary to succeed both in school and the community. By maintaining smaller class sizes and utilizing a multidisciplinary approach—which often involves close collaboration between teachers, counselors, and support staff—the academy provides a personalized educational experience. The ultimate goal of the ABC Academy is to equip students with the tools they need to transition back to their home schools or successfully complete their graduation requirements in a supportive and focused atmosphere.
