Empowering Every Learner.

Embracing Every Journey.

Where perseverance powers transformation and every child is truly seen.

All great schools are built on a clear mission, strong values, and the courage to address the needs of their community. Ellison Academy was born from a deep conviction that every child with autism deserves to be seen, known, and valued—and that families deserve a place of hope and excellence on their autism journey

A philosophy deeply rooted in 3 core pillars

Knowledge

We believe every child deserves access to truth and understanding. We cultivate minds that seek autism growth.

Empathy

We believe that empathy builds connection, trust, and belonging. Empathy created the bridge between hearts and minds.

Excellence

We uphold the highest standards in education and therapy through integrity, delivering evidence-based programs and best practices that empower children with autism to reach their full potential.

Academics

Ellison Academy is a K-12 private school that provides structured, individualized academic support designed to meet the unique learning styles of students with autism. Through evidence-based practices and small-group instruction, we focus on building foundational skills in literacy, math, and communication while fostering self-confidence and a love for learning.

Therapeutic Services

Through the Frankie Center, Ellison Academy offers integrated therapeutic services—including speech, occupational, and behavioral therapy—delivered by licensed professionals in a supportive, sensory-friendly environment. These services are woven into daily routines to promote meaningful growth in communication, emotional regulation, and independence.

Partnerships

We collaborate with schools, businesses, and community organizations to create an inclusive, resource-rich network that supports students with autism and their families. Our partnerships extend our reach, enhance programming, and provide mutual opportunities for advocacy, education, and impact.

Keep their growing minds engaged
