Our Founder & Director of Education, Kami Cothrun, was featured on AZ Family, sharing the heart behind PS Academy, A Typical School for Atypical Teens.

At PS Academy, students with autism, ADHD, and anxiety get something they’ve often been missing for years, a place to belong. A place to make friends. A place where school finally feels good again.

Kami talked about how PS Academy creates a real high school experience through clubs, electives, sports, events, and community, while giving neurodivergent teens an environment where they can truly thrive socially and emotionally.

We’re so proud to see this conversation reaching more families who may still be searching for the right fit for their teen.
