Learn about our mission, values, and commitment to neurodiverse education
Goodwin Learning Academy was founded to meet the educational needs of students with autism and other disabilities through individualized, high-quality instruction. We have transitioned into a fully ESA-approved K–12 private school offering in-home and virtual learning, with a campus opening in 2026.
Our journey began with a simple belief: every child deserves an education that celebrates their unique strengths and provides the support they need to thrive. Today, we serve families across Arizona, providing certified special education instruction tailored to each student's individual needs.
To unlock each student's unique potential through connection, compassion, and evidence-based instruction tailored to their strengths and needs.
A future where all students regardless of disability have access to education that celebrates their individuality and prepares them for success beyond school.
We utilize proven instructional methods combined with innovative therapeutic interventions. Our multidisciplinary team works collaboratively to ensure each student receives comprehensive support across academic, social, emotional, and behavioral domains.
Every student's education is tailored to their unique strengths, challenges, and goals. We work closely with families to develop and implement personalized learning strategies that promote growth and independence.
Parents are active partners in their child's education. We maintain open communication, provide regular progress updates, and collaborate on goals and strategies to ensure consistency between school and home.
We celebrate neurodiversity and create a supportive community where every student feels valued, understood, and empowered to reach their full potential.
