Westwood Preparatory Academy is an Ohio community school that solely works with students in treatment facilities. Because of this, we understand the unique challenges our students face every day while in placement. Our student-centered approach begins by understanding the individual academic needs of every student. From there we develop a plan to educate, with the goal for every child to advance academically during their stay. We work closely with the clinical staff at each facility we partner with to make sure our students receive a holistic web of support. Our teachers and staff are deeply invested in the success of our students, both academically and clinically.
