Teachwell Academy High School - 01 is a public high school that is part of the East Dakota Educational Cooperative school district, located in Sioux Falls, SD with about 36 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 5 teachers, Teachwell Academy High School - 01 has a student/teacher ratio of about 7:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Teachwell Academy, located in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, is a specialized educational institution operated by the Teachwell Solutions cooperative. The school is specifically designed to serve students with diverse learning needs, including those with significant emotional, behavioral, or academic challenges who may not thrive in a traditional classroom setting. By utilizing a therapeutic and highly structured approach, the academy prioritizes individualized education plans (IEPs) and provides a low student-to-teacher ratio to ensure that each student receives the personalized support necessary for both academic growth and social-emotional development.

Beyond academics, Teachwell Academy places a strong emphasis on life skills, mental health support, and behavioral intervention. The school functions as a collaborative partner with local school districts, providing a bridge for students who require a more intensive, supportive environment to succeed. Their mission centers on fostering an inclusive and empowering atmosphere where students are encouraged to build self-confidence, develop coping strategies, and ultimately transition back to their home schools or move toward post-secondary success with the tools they need to navigate future challenges.
