Hamilton Academy is an Illinois State Board of Education approved twelve-month private therapeutic day school for fifth through twelfth grade students (ages 10-21) with emotional disorders. We are also approved for other health impairments, traumatic brain injury and specific learning disabilities. Many of our students have also been identified as learning disabled. Our student capacity does not exceed thirty.Hamilton Academy establishes that a student enrolled in the program has the potential to work through his or her problems and develop the skills necessary to be successful back in the mainstream. This is done in a safe environment with the support and assistance of our educational and therapeutic team in cooperation with the student, his or her family and the referring school district. After a referral is made an interview is set up between the student, his or her parents and the director. The student and his/her family have the opportunity to see the school, what we have to offer and learn about the expectations. At that time both the student's willingness to comply with the program expectations and how well the student will fit with the current milieu are determined.
