Join our Team: Come join an amazing team of educators working with neurodiverse 6th-12th graders in Englewood, CO. You will be a part of an innovative and creative educational environment, where you will have the small class sizes (6-10 students) needed to promote individualized and strengths based learning. Classes are mixed age and grade focusing on educating the whole student, including academic, social, and emotional growth. Students come to us with diagnoses such as ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder), ADHD, Anxiety, and a wide range of learning disabilities including executive functioning challenges. Additionally, many of our students are identified as Twice Exceptional (2E), where they present with areas of great strength and co-occurring areas of weakness, which can make it challenging to consistently tap into those strength areas.
Humanex Students meet the following academic, social, and behavioral criteria:
- A desire to engage and participate in the Humanex Academy community.
- Benefit from a school program that focuses equally on academic and social growth.
- Ability to positively interact with peers and adults within the building.
- Ability to take redirection and support from staff as needed.
In order for us to maintain our program effectively and meet the needs of our student population, Humanex Academy does not accept students who:
- Require intensive one-on-one academic support.
- Have recent history of significant disruptive behavior or physical aggression within the school environment.
- Are currently using drugs or alcohol.
