Student Profile:

Encompass K-9 is able to support all types of students. We have a broad range of students that include those who are gifted, have full-time athletic commitments, dramatic pursuits, have identified special needs or just want to learn outside of a regular school environment.

Families who choose to participate in ‘Encompass K-9’ need to be committed to their child’s learning on a full-time basis. Students have significant learning to complete with the support of their parents at home. Students who are successful in an Encompass setting are eager to learn, can work independently and have a strong relationship with the parent that will be supporting their learning.
