Among Us Social Class: Build Confidence, Friendships, and Life Skills Through Play!

🎮 Does your child sometimes struggle to connect with peers or feel comfortable in social settings?

Imagine giving your child a space where they can thrive, make real connections, and practice social skills while having fun.

That’s exactly what happens in the Young Scholars Academy Among Us Social Class! This isn’t just a gaming session—it’s a supportive, skill-building environment where your child will grow in confidence, teamwork, and problem-solving.

    What Your Child Will Gain

    In this class, your child will experience the benefits of social growth through engaging, structured play. Here’s how:

    • Confidence in Group Dynamics: Whether they’re uncovering imposters or leading as crewmates, your child will find roles that suit their personality, helping them gain self-assurance in expressing their ideas and strategies.

    • Better Peer Interaction and Communication: Through guided gameplay, your child will practice clear communication, trust-building, and collaboration—essential skills for making friends and thriving in social settings.

    • Empathy and Perspective-Taking: Every round offers a chance to step into someone else’s shoes, encouraging your child to understand different viewpoints and grow their social awareness.

    • Creative Problem-Solving and Adaptability: Among Us challenges require quick thinking and flexibility, helping your child tackle problems confidently, both in-game and in real life.

    • A Supportive Community: Our inclusive, judgment-free class provides a safe space for your child to connect with like-minded peers and feel understood.

    What Sets This Class Apart?

    As an experienced mentor, I specialize in creating engaging, judgment-free environments where kids feel valued. Each session is thoughtfully designed to balance fun and skill-building, ensuring that every takeaway is meaningful.

    Here’s what to expect:

    • Secure, Private Lobbies: Sessions are held in safe, distraction-free lobbies for an optimal experience.

    • Dynamic Role Play: Switching between crewmate and imposter roles challenges students to strategize and adapt.

    • Team Challenges: Whether collaborating or competing, your child will sharpen teamwork and observational skills.

    • Reflective Discussions: After each game, we discuss strategies and lessons, helping students connect their in-game growth to real-world situations.

    Why This Class Matters

    At Young Scholars Academy, we know how important it is for your child to feel seen and supported. This class isn’t just about playing a game—it’s about helping your child unlock their full social potential while having fun with peers who "get them."

What Our Parents Say…

Meet Your Mentor

Ms. Wish

I’m a homeschooling mom, lifelong gamer, and former private school teacher who teaches social gaming clubs where kids develop important social skills while playing their favorite online games, all while keeping the environment safe and age-appropriate. As Maria Montessori said, “Play is the work of the child,” and I embrace the digital world where so much play happens. I share my love of games with my son and young people around the world. My teaching style is low-demand, affirming, and supportive, grounded in mutual respect. I create a flexible and nurturing environment where learners can feel comfortable, grow, and be their authentic selves. I’m excited to see your learner in class!

Questions Asked By Fellow Parents

  • 4 KEY things:

    1- A focus on the positive! We don’t focus on what students aren’t doing, we support what they are and we know the rest will come. We develop strengths, interests, and relationships. We build students up so they can build a better world! And do it with the new friends they make in our program!

    2- Like-minded neurodivergent peers. Our asynchronous students need one another and YSA is a safe haven for these kiddos to connect around their asynchronies, quirks, and interests. We’re a place where they can be their authentic selves and make friends while doing so!

    3- Passionate, masterful neurodivergent mentors who have walked the walk and can authentically validate and support your child with personal experience and care AND expertise as we all have advanced masters + degrees

    4-Content your students care about taught in a way they love! We offer the courses they need to be taking, not the ones they’re required to take.

    Come by and see for yourself!

  • Please don’t confuse reactive “distance learning” and virtual enrichment programming. After all, a student who is completely fried from a boring zoom class is often quick to pick up a tablet or phone, right?

    Our courses are not at all the same animal =)

  • THIS IS A SATISFACTION GUARANTEE, so your child must attend the class in question to qualify.

  • We do! We have 3 kinds:

    1- Word of mouth: 25% off- we know that the best way to reach new families is word of mouth. When you help another family enroll in a YSA class and they name you at checkout, you will get 25% off the cost of the course you’re currently enrolled in once they stay past the refund period. Note— this applies to all regular courses, BUT only applies to the first month of membership courses.

    2- Multi-sibling: 10% off- We believe in supporting whole families and we are willing to put our money where our mouth is! When you sign-up 2 or more kiddos you will receive 10% off. Note— this does not apply to our membership courses.

    3-Multi-course: 10% off- To fully serve your family, we hope to provide your child with all the courses they dream of taking! To make this more affordable, when you enroll in 3 or more classes, you will receive 10% off. Note— this does not apply to our membership courses.

  • Of course!

    As we like to say, if you’re on our site, you’re in the right place.

    Our programming is for students who are not being supported or challenged enough in school.

    If you have an asynchronous kiddo who you know has strengths and struggles, our courses are for your child.

  • 2e students experience such asynchronous development that it proves difficult to have hard age limits.

    We often evaluate students on a case by case basis =)

    Please email us and we’ll discuss: sam@youngscholarsacademy.org

  • All of our programs are 100% virtual. This allows us to bring together the twice-exceptional/neurodivergent students of the world, connect them, and nurture them!

    Your child may very well enter a 6-person class with 5 other students from 5 different states/countries!

    Cool, right?
