The Mission of Dore Academy is to provide students in grades K-12, who have specific attention and learning disabilities, the individualized education to achieve their highest potential. The school strives to create an environment that nurtures and protects what we value most in our children: their curiosity, their talents, their character, their humanity, and their dreams.

Our Vision for Dore Academy is that we will be an innovative pioneer in the attention and learning disabilities fields. In addition to a strong foundation of strong traditional academics, Dore offers a unique signature experience focusing on the needs of the whole child. Dore students are problem-solvers, higher level and creative thinkers who add value to our community.

Our core values are:

• We believe in demonstrating best practices both internally as well as to others in the teaching field.
• We believe in a holistic approach to each child, considering the full range of their individual circumstances and abilities.
• We are committed to small class sizes as a way to offer individual attention to each child.
• We believe that teachers are a significant influence on the lives of our students; therefore, we exercise great care in the selection and development of faculty members.
• We believe that learning difficulties of our students should be acknowledged openly so that both the student and his/her family can learn coping strategies.
• We believe that a close-knit school environment that welcomes the child and his/her family is important to each child's success.
• We believe that students should be prepared for a variety of next steps: returning to a mainstream K-12 environment, college, or other post-secondary education.
• We believe that Dore Academy can be a short-term or a long-term option with equal success.
• We believe in serving families at all economic levels.
• We believe that academics should be supplemented by a focus on building students' confidence.
