Stop the Homework Hassles and Just Imagine
At many schools, a jam-packed schedule catering to masses of students rather than your individual student means not all schoolwork will get done at school. There’s just not enough time.
That’s where the dreaded HOMEWORK hassles start.
Some upper-level students may see more than two, three and even four hours of homework a night. That doesn’t leave time for relaxation, family time or much of anything else.
Imagine a school where your child is the focus, and they could work at their own pace, allowing them to actually complete their schoolwork AT SCHOOL!
Imagine what your child could do in the time he normally would spend doing homework:
A dancer will have more time in the studio.
An athlete will have more time to practice their sport and/or workout in the gym.
An artist will have more time to create.
An actor will have more time to participate in local productions and study their craft.
A child will have more time to be a child.
At our schools, our students work efficiently and effectively, eliminating the need for homework beyond the regular school day.
Imagine more time for your student to imagine!

Homework is horrible for kids with Asperger's--and even more horrible for their FAMILIES. The kids need downtime more than anything else in order to physically and mentally recoup from the day and prepare for the next. Families need time together without homework polluting the relationship. The school sounds ideal--and not just becaue of No Homework.
