PHOENIX ACADEMY

Phoenix Academy is a public school that is part of the Anne Arundel County Public Schools school district, located in Annapolis, MD with about 315 students offering grade levels from 1st Grade to 12th Grade. With about 30 teachers, Phoenix Academy has a student/teacher ratio of about 10:1. 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.

Phoenix Academy, located at 1411 Cedar Park Road in Annapolis, Maryland, is a specialized educational institution operating under the Anne Arundel County Public Schools system. The school serves as a therapeutic program designed to support students in grades 6 through 12 who require a highly structured, supportive environment due to emotional, behavioral, or mental health challenges. By maintaining smaller class sizes and utilizing a team-based approach, the academy provides a tailored academic experience that emphasizes both individual progress and the development of necessary coping and interpersonal skills.

The curriculum at Phoenix Academy is integrated with intensive therapeutic services, allowing students to work toward their academic requirements while addressing the underlying needs that impact their success in a traditional school setting. The school focuses on fostering a positive school climate through restorative practices and consistent behavioral support, aiming to help students build self-regulation and resilience. Ultimately, the program serves as a bridge for many students, with the overarching goal of helping them achieve the social and academic stability required to transition back to their home schools or successfully graduate from the program.
