About Scott Academy

Levan Scott Academy opened in 1955 as Southern Heights Elementary School and was renamed in 2000 for Dr. Levan R. Scott, who served Fort Wayne Community Schools for 28 years and in 1965 became the city's first African-American principal. Today we are a Title I elementary school, home of the Cadets, and our students go on to Miami Middle School and Wayne High School.

Our full-day Cadet Pre-K, funded with federal Title I dollars, runs 8:50 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. for four-year-olds. Children start with breakfast and circle time, rotate through centers for reading, art, construction, and math and science, play outside, and have art, music or gym in the afternoon before rest time. KinderCare Champions provides after-school care for our pre-K students, and Y-Care at Weisser Park serves pre-K through grade 5.

English Language Learner support is available for students new to English. Each month we recognize Cadets of Character from every class, students earn CADET Cash for attendance and effort, and families join us for Hispanic Heritage, Black History and Asian/Pacific Islander celebration nights. Our building has a library and flexible common areas for group work.

Crossroad Academy

Fort Wayne, IN
Emotional/behavioral support Alternative to traditional classroom Behavior incentive program

Crossroad Academy is a Cognia-accredited school on the Crossroad Child & Family Services campus in Fort Wayne, Indiana, for students who are not succeeding in a traditional classroom. Its aim is to prepare each student to be socially and academically ready for the next level of education or vocation. The school serves two groups. Day students live at home and attend as an alternative to public education, and the Day Education program accepts referrals directly from families and from local school corporations. Students in Crossroad's residential treatment programs attend as well. Every student receives a personalized education built from a review of school records, background information, and their IEP where one exists. Certified elementary, secondary, and special education teachers lead each classroom, supported by Crossroad Youth and Family Specialists who assist with behavior management and by Title I assistants who provide extra academic support. A behavior incentive program keeps students focused on behavioral and academic goals, and families receive daily behavior tracking. Instruction follows Indiana State Standards and graduation requirements through project-based and social-emotional learning, with the Edmentum platform used for high school credits. The campus includes a gym, cafeteria, computer lab, media center, playground, and a maker space with a 3D printer, screen printing machine, and podcast studio. Tuition assistance may be available, and qualified students can receive full or partial scholarships.
