Mainspring Academy is a non-profit school for children and young adults ages 5-22 who have special needs including, but not limited to; autism, Down syndrome, ADHD, emotional-behavioral disorders, and learning disorders and challenges. Our mission is to serve as the premier, comprehensive learning and support center for children with special needs in the Jacksonville area. At Mainspring, we believe all children a capable of learning and growth regardless of their disability. We believe in the whole-child approach, taking into account all aspects of the child's life. Each student is provided an Individualized Learning Plan (ILP), which tailors the student's academic goals to meet their needs. At Mainspring our classrooms are typically a 6:2 student to teacher ratio. The small class size allows the student to work on their individualized program while still giving them access to peers for socialization and play. In addition, each class has daily recess, physical education 3 times weekly, and art 2 times weekly. Mainspring also participates in community activities, such a the Special Olympics and various community based music programs. Mainspring Academy is truly and exceptional school, with exceptional students!
