Longmore Academy
Where Students Grow & Flourish
Longmore Academy is an innovative educational program that offers several enhancements to the academic program. As a Private Academic School licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Education, Longmore provides education for at-risk youth in grades K through 12. Students who attend Longmore Academy benefit from a structured, supportive learning environment that is responsive to behavioral and emotional factors that impede their academic success.

Individualized Educational Services to Meet Your Child’s Needs
The curriculum integrates traditional core subjects with electives in art, music, current events, creative writing, STEAM, and career readiness. The Sanctuary Model is embedded in the fabric of the school, faculty, and students, creating a safe, nonviolent environment for everyone. The life skills classes focus on opportunities to identify and develop career and vocational interests. The extended school year and summer school programs provide students with academic programming that reduces the likelihood of regression during the summer months.
Longmore’s student-to-teacher ratio is 8:1 in autistic support classrooms and 12:1 in all other classrooms. All teachers are PA state-certified. We teach the PA Common Core Curriculum, ensuring credits transfer back to the home school district for promotion or graduation. We provide necessary accommodations and individualized instruction, with nearly half of our teachers certified in special education. Daily faculty communication closely monitors your student’s academic and behavioral progress. Our School Counselor provides post-secondary transition planning, and our School Therapist provides individual counseling and specialized groups.
