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 =)

We offer a satisfaction guarantee!

If you’re not 100% IN LOVE with your course, you can:

1- Transfer to another equal value class at no charge (space permitting)

2- Get a 100% refund to a YSA credit

3- Get a 25% money-back to your credit card

Refund requests must be received up to 24 hours after the first day of camp. After 24 hours after the first class begins there will be no refund of tuition.

The non-refundable 25% deposit is critical as it allows us to determine which courses we can run.

Note- this is a satisfaction guarantee, therefore your child must attend class to qualify.

*Note- Yearly courses like AP require a 30-day notice

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?
