What Our Parents Say…

“My students have taken many classes with Megan and we love her. There is an emphasis in education on the 4Cs, communication, collaboration, critical-thinking and creativity. These are skills that help students achieve success in 21st century jobs. Megan's classes address all 4 of these skills in an engaging way that will have your student begging for more.”
-Jannalee D.
“I have never seen teachers with more passion, energy, and support than I have at Young Scholars Academy. I don't know how they do it. They are truly the best! These are the best teachers we've ever had!”
-Crystal
“My adhd son got excited and looked forward to this class every week! It inspired him to write more for a campaign he’s DMing for our family, which is HUGE for a kid who has sensory issues with writing. Megan was incredibly flexible with my son, who tends to change things up often. He loved that about her class. He liked it so much, we made sure to sign him up for another campaign of hers! Thank you Megan for offering this!”
-George V.

Meet Your Mentor

Megan Hardy

I am a Professional DM and Mother to four kids ages 8 to 18. I love role playing games, science fiction, comics and just about anything that might be considered geeky. I have used my geeky passions to help educate my own children, as well as others.

My personal background is in History. I have a bachelor's degree in History. I have also studied literature and mass communication. All of this tends to be channeled into my teaching style. I am also a mom of two neurodivergent kids and have learned how to build lesson plans and campaigns around individual needs. Learning is a fun process when approached through the window of something the child already loves whether that is gaming, comic books or anything that has captured their mind.

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 =)
We offer a satisfaction guarantee!
If you’re not 100% IN LOVE with your camp, you can:
1- Transfer to another equal-value class at no charge (space permitting)
2- Get a 100% refund to a YSA credit
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.
Note- this is a satisfaction guarantee, therefore your child must attend class to qualify.
We do! We have 3 kinds:
1- Word of mouth: GET UNLIMITED $35 COURSE/CAMP CREDITS!
We know that the best way to reach new families is word of mouth.
❇️ At checkout you will get a CUSTOM LINK that you can share with families
❇️ YOU GET A $35 CREDIT TOWARD MORE/FUTURE YSA CAMPS/COURSES every time a NEW family enrolls with your link!
❇️ Families who use your custom link WILL GET 10% off their 1st course at YSA!
❇️ THERE IS NO LIMIT on how many times you can use this with new families!
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.
3- Multi-Camp: When you enroll in 3 or more summer camps in the same week, you will receive 10% off of all summer camps!
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?
