What Makes Us Different:

• Integrated Hi-Tech Study Skills - We combine the excellence of private schooling with our proven processing and retrieval techniques and computerized study skills.


• Competent Teachers - Our warm and caring teachers hold Master's or Ph.D.s, because who teaches your child is as important as what they are taught.


• Small Teacher/Student Ratio - In order to provide flexibility and the attention needed for each student, we offer small group settings (average 4 students per class) and individual, one-on-one courses.


• Customized Learning - Parents and students choose which courses to take and in what sequence, allowing programs to be custom-designed for individual abilities and specific college requirements.


• Nurturing Environment - Administrators who listen to Parents and Students, and Teachers who care.

Our greatest joy is making a difference in our students' lives: seeing how they learn, grow, and become mature individuals socially and intellectually, caring about others and themselves. By working closely with parents, we provide a safe haven for our students, encouraging confidence and self-esteem, which lead to individual motivation. But don't take our word for it - our parents and students can speak for themselves.

What Do Parents Say About Cortona Academy?

"In essence, Cortona Academy has given us back our delightful son. Chris smiles more often and more easily. His natural love of learning has returned with a renewed vigor. He has regained his self-confidence and is, again, highly motivated. Why? Perhaps Chris can explain this best in his own words: 'I feel respected here. Everybody really cares about the kids, and academically I couldn't be happier.' Thank you, Mrs. Strauchs, and the tutors and staff of Cortona Academy."
