Providence Oak Academy - San Antonio

We provide a year-round, TEA-approved nonpublic school program in San Antonio for students with autism and related conditions. School districts place students who need a more individualized or intensive setting. Teachers use an adapted curriculum and Applied Behavior Analysis principles to address IEP goals, with speech and occupational therapy and vocational activities such as cooking, art, and gardening.

Brighton Center’s Najim Campus serves children from six weeks through age five in infant, toddler, transition, preschool, and kindergarten-ready classrooms. We offer seven classrooms and three age-specific playgrounds, with a Preschool Inclusion Team that brings therapists, educators, and specialists together to support children in school.

Our San Antonio academy offers a tuition-free classical education built around literature, history, math, science and the arts. Teachers use questions and conversation to help students examine ideas. Students study Latin, work with primary sources in history, and learn math through concrete examples before moving to abstract concepts. We use an inclusion-based special education model. Classroom teachers work with special education teachers to support eligible students' Individualized Education Plans and their access to the same liberal arts curriculum. Music, visual art and physical education are also part of our program.
