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!

Courses are our premium offering, designed for families looking for fun, depth, consistency, and connection. COURSES COME WITH FREEE SOCIAL CLUBS AND WEEKLY CLASS SUMMARIES EMAILED HOME =)

These meet once per week for 11 weeks, allowing kids to go further and grow together in a structured, engaging environment.

✅ Weekly deep dives into subjects they love

✅ Stronger friendships with the same group each week

✅ A FREE, live social club (when enrolling in 2+ courses)

✅ Weekly summary/progress report emails with updates on their progress

Camps, on the other hand, are a fun, 5-day learning experience—one-week where kids bond, explore, and create together in a short burst of excitement.

Typically camps will explore one of the many units that a course will explore.

Camps meet Monday through Friday for ≈50 minutes per day, giving students a chance to immerse themselves in a topic they love while making quick connections with like-minded peers.

Both are incredible!

If you’re looking for long-term growth, deeper learning, and a premium experience, our once-a-week summer courses are the way to go!

Yes! Our courses and camps feature completely different content, so students are encouraged to take both.

Courses typically cover multiple units over 11 weeks, offering a deep, structured learning experience. Camps, on the other hand, are a one-week intensive that might explore just one of those units.

For example, if your child takes Theater Camp and the Theater Course, the course will go more in-depth with different activities and concepts and a more comprehensive play, while the camp will provide a focused, immersive experience for one week.

No repetition—just more learning, more fun, and more opportunities to grow!

There are 2 kinds of refund requests:

1- Summer Camp 100% Satisfaction Guarantee

No risk. No stress. Just an incredible summer experience for your child!.

2- Summer Course 100% Satisfaction Guarantee

We can offer this guarantee with confidence because we know our programs work for hundreds of families—and we know they’ll work for yours, too! Plus, when you enroll, you’re receiving $3,000 in bonuses, which you keep even if you decide to cancel.

We take all the risk, so your child can thrive!

Please read the description of each course before enrolling.

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 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- Homeroom Social Club 100% off- When the same student enrolls in 2 courses AND Homeroom Social Club you will automatically discount 100% of the tuition for Homeroom Social Club. When enrolling in only one course, you will receive a 50% automatic discount on Homeroom Social Club

3- 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.

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.

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?

When your student successfully completes the class and passes the exam with a 3 or above, we can email you a letter upon request from the College Board stating that your child has completed a College Board approved class that your student can add to their transcript when they fill out their college applications.
