Coral Reef Academy opened in the fall of 2018 and is a unique school located in the U.S. Virgin Islands. It is passionate about providing an exceptional educational experience for students with autism and developmental disabilities.
The roots of its program are grounded in evidence-based practices, including TEACCH, a program based on the idea that individuals with autism are visual learners, so teachers must correspondingly adapt their teaching styles and intervention strategies. This is an unprecedented approach to providing services to school-aged children with autism and developmental disabilities in the Virgin Islands.
