CORE’s 11th graduation

The first 12 minutes of this video are a must-hear.

Dr. Lainie shares the heart of CORE Academy—why our students learn differently, how they grow when they feel seen and understood, and what makes our school community so special.

Our Graduates

CORE graduates leave knowing how they learn best, how to advocate for themselves, and how to move forward with confidence.

Many continue on to high schools, colleges, and careers where they use their strengths and believe in what is possible.

That confidence is one of our greatest measures of success.
