Activities: THE EPIPHANY SCHOOL OF CHARLOTTE OPERATES AN INDEPENDENT DAY SCHOOL FOR CHILDREN THAT STRUGGLE WITH SOCIAL AND COMMUNICATION SKILLS THAT IMPACT THEIR ABILITY TO LEARN IN A MAINSTREAM ENVIRONMENT. OUR GOAL IS TO SUPPORT CHILDREN WITH ASPERGER'S OR OTHER SOCIAL COMMUNICATION DIFFERENCES, EITHER DIAGNOSED OR UNDIAGNOSED, AND THEIR FAMILIES. THE EPIPHANY SCHOOL IS A PLACE FOR CHILDREN TO NOT MERELY BE EDUCATED, BUT TO FLOURISH AND ACHIEVE THEIR GREATEST POTENTIAL. EPIPHANY CELEBRATES EACH CHILD'S UNIQUENESS AND CREATES AN ENVIRONMENT OF SELF-AWARENESS AND OPENNESS TO LEARNING. OUR HIGHLY TRAINED TEACHERS AND STAFF CREATE AN UNHURRIED ENVIRONMENT THAT REDUCES THE BARRIERS TO LEARNING AND ENCOURAGES PERSONAL GROWTH AND REFLECTION. CURRENTLY SERVING CHILDREN IN GRADES 3 THROUGH 9, THE EPIPHANY STUDENT BUILDS SUCCESS SKILLS FOR HIGH SCHOOL AND BEYOND THROUGH SMALL CLASS INSTRUCTION AND A SPECIALIZED CURRICULUM TAILORED TO EACH CHILD'S LEARNING PROFILE, SOCIAL COMMUNICATION ABILITY AND SENSORY NEEDS. ACADEMIC SUCCESS, COUPLED WITH IMPROVED SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL COPING SKILLS, ENABLES STUDENTS TO BUILD CONFIDENCE, UNDERSTAND THEIR UNIQUE LEARNING STYLES, AND THRIVE IN A SCHOOL SETTING. EPIPHANY IS COMMITTED TO PREPARING STUDENTS FOR A SUCCESSFUL RETURN TO A TRADITIONAL CLASSROOM SETTING. TWENTY-EIGHT STUDENTS COMPLETED THE 2019-2020 SCHOOL YEAR.
