Moderate Support – Cohort Model

Specialized instruction that is matched to the instructional level of the child throughout certain cohort class periods during the day.

The Sally Borden Program and Bridge Program at Friends Academy

Grounded in the firm conviction that each child learns differently — that one size does not fit all — the Sally Borden Program (SBP) helps students who need a different type of learning environment realize their full potential. This reflects Friends Academy’s deeply rooted belief in the need to appropriately support each child to succeed in school.

Student Profile

SBP students demonstrate average to superior cognitive abilities, but may have difficulty with reading, spelling, math, written expression, and organizational and/or study skills. They are very capable, but they need a different type of environment and instruction to thrive. The Sally Borden Program is not for students with significant social communication challenges.

Admission Cycle

Friends Academy’s admission process is rolling, meaning that you can apply for the upcoming school year whenever you choose to do so.
