VISION
Coastal Shores Academy aims to position all students to achieve their idea of the American Dream. Our goal is to ensure that students can independently and confidently navigate life after high school, pursuing post-secondary and career paths well within their reach that align with their passions, rather than settle for something less due to insufficient preparation.

Our program is specifically designed to address the diverse needs of students with neurodevelopmental disorders and those who are learning English as a new language. We strive to foster a high-performing learning environment enriched with mental health and well-being support.
