AAYAS is a learning place.  The school will offer the opportunity for each student to excel in all subjects utilizing lesson plans tailored for each student.  It is a place to experience oneself in relationship to God, to others, and to the environment through planned, guided activities. The Academy recognizes, values, and accepts each student as an individual, a unique creation of God, and it provides the opportunity to question, to explore, to succeed, and to celebrate in God’s world.
