Because we are on a military base, all our families have an employed parent. Housing is restricted, though, to families with pay rates of E1-E6. World political and economic crises affect our families directly. The constant transitions between one and two parent families compound this stress as parents are deployed for up to nine months. That is not true at Akers.
Computers are in every classroom.
We house two computer labs. Thirteen classrooms contain computer minilabs. To help make the transition from middle school grades to high school, our 6-8 students move from teacher to teacher as a complete homeroom. Akers has a Resource Specialist Program on campus and a Special Day Class. Speech therapy is available two days per week.
