Welcome to Soaring Eagle Academy

Soaring Eagle Academy offers a new look at children with Autism and related disorders as individuals with great potential for interacting, communicating and thinking. As the only school to integrate Developmental Language Models and DIR®/Floortime principles, for students ages 3 through 21 years old, within a nurturing social and academic environment that embraces the “whole child” supporting their individual differences and learning styles, while wooing each child into engaging interaction and meaningful learning, we believe that when students comprehend and their intentions and actions are truly understood, amazing development unfolds and students soar to higher levels of learning!

During the month of February, our students had the opportunity to display their art in the office of Terra Costa Howard State Representative of the 48th Legislative District of Illinois. Every month Representative Howard gives a local school an opportunity to display their student's artwork in her office. She then hosts an open house for those students and their families where she presents them with a certificate of participation. Representative Terra Costa Howard has been extremely supportive of Soaring Eagle Academy and had shown genuine interest in our school. She came in for a tour of our school and then participated in our trunk or treat event during Halloween. We are thankful for her support and grateful to have had such a special opportunity for our students!

We are honored to receive a proclamation from the State of Illinois Executive Department, proclaiming April 2018 as Autism Awareness Month in Illinois and recognizing Soaring Eagle Academy, presented to us by State Representative Peter Breen. Our students helped welcome Rep. Peter Breen and even helped give a tour of our school! Thank you Rep. Breen for taking the time to visit SEA and present us with the proclamation!
