How YSA Changes Lives — In Their Own Words

The Fastest, Easiest Way To Find Your Child’s Perfect-Fit Course

Questions Asked By Fellow Parents

  • Simple! 4 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- 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

    3-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 =)

  • Of course! 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.

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

  • There are 2 kinds of refund requests:

    Satisfaction Guarantee: If you’re not 100% IN LOVE with your courses:

    Pay In Full Option: We can switch you to another course of equal or lesser value that’s a better fit or issue you a credit to use toward a future course. No risk. No stress. Just the learning and belonging you’ve been looking for!

    Payment Plan Option: We can either issue you a credit toward a future course,  switch you to another course that’s a better fit, or stop all payments future payments- starting 30 days from when you contact us. No risk. No stress. Just the learning and belonging you’ve been looking for!

    We can offer you a 100% satisfaction guarantee because we know what we do works for hundreds of other families—and we know it will work for your family, too!

    We’re taking all the risk because you’re getting over $5000 in bonuses when you sign up, and you could cancel the class and keep all the bonuses.

  • 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?
