"Mill Springs Academy provides a carefully structured environment within a warm, supportive atmosphere. Our structural approach is an environment that involves our community structure, daily values groups, individualized contracts and life space interview techniques.conferences with parents are scheduled throughout the term and others are based on the immediate needs of the student as defined by the student, family or school.the community structure is a school wide, reality-based structure that clearly defines the responsibilities and privileges associated with each level of responsibility. The system allows the student to make fully informed choices resulting in privileges or consequences. It allows staff members to function as facilitators. Community meetings are led by the principal of each school component and involve both staff and peer feedback.the community monitors the interactions of its members and enforces the community structure while academic expectations and interventions are individualized. Interactive expectations are the same for all students - to respect oneself and all others of the community. When students accomplish this major goal with the help of the msa community, they will have acquired sound social problem-solving skills, as well as, joy and self-satisfaction in their interactions with others.the laptops for learning program encompasses grades 4 through 12. This program emphasizes the computer's use as a tool for learning and as an individualized intervention for learning. Because it is an intervention tool, students use their computers at home and at school. The faculty also uses laptops in the same manner, including lower school faculty. Students in 1st through 3rd grades begin with desktops. Microsoft outlook is used to handle e-mail, inside and outside of school. Microsoft word, excel, access and powerpoint are used for organizing,writing, editing and turning in assignments. The use of the computer for research on the internet is integrated into the curriculum. This program is used for completing, maintaining and presenting challenging academic work. In addition, there is an organizational website to help families and students organize their activities.
