2026-2027 SCHOOL YEAR CALENDAR UPDATE

During a further review of this year’s school calendar, we identified an additional discrepancy that requires us to add another day to meet the Department of Education’s mandated number of student instructional days. January 18, 2027, which was previously scheduled as a day off, will now be a half day for both students and staff.

We sincerely apologize once again for any inconvenience this change may cause. The revised school calendar is attached below for your reference. Thank you for your understanding.

There were smiles, cheers, high-fives, and so many unforgettable moments at Adaptapalooza!

Students explored adaptive games and activities designed to celebrate every ability while building confidence, movement, friendships, and most importantly having fun.

At CTC Academy, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to play, participate, and experience the joy of success in their own unique way. A heartfelt thank you to our incredible therapists, teachers, and staff who helped make this special day possible. Together, we're creating opportunities where every student can thrive.
