Lincoln Academy

Lincoln Academy, located at 320 Lincoln St in Roselle, Illinois, is an alternative educational program operating under the umbrella of the North DuPage Special Education Cooperative (NDSEC). The school is specifically designed to support students in grades K-12 who require specialized academic and behavioral interventions that may not be available in a traditional general education setting. By maintaining smaller class sizes and a high staff-to-student ratio, the academy focuses on creating a structured, supportive environment tailored to the unique social, emotional, and cognitive needs of its diverse student body.

The school's curriculum emphasizes both academic growth and the development of essential life and social skills, often utilizing individualized education programs (IEPs) to ensure each student reaches their specific developmental goals. Through a collaborative approach involving teachers, counselors, and support staff, Lincoln Academy strives to provide a therapeutic and inclusive atmosphere that helps students overcome educational barriers, regain confidence, and prepare for successful transitions back to their home school districts or into post-secondary life.
